Making the case for smart cards for the average user

[Peter Lebbing]

The type of UID that proves problematic when you include the angle
brackets in your search is this:

$ gpg2 -k ceo at example.org
pub   2048R/17C05EBD 2014-08-13 [expires: 2015-04-14]
uid       [ unknown] ceo at example.org

$ gpg2 -k "<ceo at example.org>"
gpg: error reading key: No public key

It's about an UID without angle brackets! Hence, when you search for it
including the angle brackets, you don't find it. Your examples all are
with an UID that actually does include the angle brackets.

HTH,

Peter.
