Hi,
a while ago I was experimenting with gpg and mutt, made some keys and
uploaded them. Then there was little time to play with it so I forgot
about it for a while and kept using my old mailer without the keys.
Now I just found the time again to set it all up like it should, and
realized that I wasn't cautious enough not to loose the passphrase.
Well, I know already, that it was stupid, so please don't make me feel
worse than I feel already, but I would appreciate if you could give me
some hints whats the best I could do now.
- i can't revoke it --> no passphrase :-(
- i still need the email adresses with the useless keys
- i definitely can't find the passphrase
My ideas were to make new keys using my name without the middlename, but
for the same email adresses, but I quess it will confuse people.
Thanks for feedback,
Thomas
