Event Timeline

The displayed keyID is the fingerprint albeit it is a v3 key where the keyid is
not extracted from the fingerprint. BTW, why is a V3 key with an MD5 signature
still in use - that does not make any sense. MD5 is broken and thus are v3 keys.

werner claimed this task.
werner added a project: Won't Fix.
werner set Version to 0.9.92.

We don't continue 0.9.x. Thus I don't want to fix that problem unless you have
a real need for it.

ok, please close off this bug and I will move to latest version.

thanks for your time
Kevin
