Agreed!

Ok, "generated" was probably the wrong word, I mean that if I drag
my entry from PMMail's address book to the attachment area of an 
outgping email, then the .vcf file attachment that pmmail/2 "generates"
includes my PGP key (as supplied in the .vcf file I posted). I did not
edit or add the PGP key, it is exactly as PMMail specified it - it was 
a big surprise to me to see my PGP key in the vCard!

Er, closest tothe 2nd, but there is no pgpk.exe in pgp 2.6.3!

Great.

Sounds like you are right!
