Hehehehe. Thank you. I have a personal rule that I never reveal a
private conversation on a list, even if it seems innocent. I've tested
out my asbestos undies that way more than once... :-)

I had originally created a key with an expiry and then changed it
rather than generating fresh keys (had my reasons for doing this bad
thing at the time), and I assumed the problem was a stray old version.

Could you verify that the key you have now is set to expire "never"?

In fact, no. Even though I imported your key directly from your website,
it still thinks that key is expired. So - is it: Gpg? Evolution?
Something odd with Feisty? I have no idea. Signing your key with mine,
and specifying the high level of trust didn't help either.

Here's what Evolution says:
