Hi Werner, and nice to meet you! I really appreciate all the work you’ve 
done for PGP.

True, and perhaps I didn’t say what I meant.

At least on macOS, using any flags, such as --rfc4880, --openpgp, and 
--rfc4880bis, when editing the key and setting prefs do not change the 
key feature flags whatsoever. They only change when set manually. I 
don’t mean to change the algorithm of the key, of course.

And I understand what’s *possible* in RNP/TB, but I’d hope to be able to 
set the feature flags of my key to be TB-compatible.

Best,
Jack
