keyid E2F41133 from your public keyring. This is almost identi-

cal to exporting your own public key.

This exported file includes Greg’s public key, my signa-

ture of his key, and any other signatures that were on the key

before I signed it. Another user can import this exported

key file, either by adding the key to his keyring or by merg-

ing any new signatures onto the existing copy of that key as

appropriate.

You should return the signed public key to the key owner

in an encrypted, signed email and allow him to integrate

your signature into his public key and then distribute it as he

sees fit.
