        !             2: ---------------------
        !             3: 
        !             4: There are PGP public key servers which allow one to exchange public
        !             5: keys running through the Internet and UUCP mail systems.
        !             6: 
        !             7: 
        !             8: NOTE!
        !             9: 
        !            10: This service is NOT supported in any way whatsoever by the schools or
        !            11: organizations on which these servers run.  It is here only to help
        !            12: transfer keys between PGP users.  It does NOT attempt to guarantee
        !            13: that a key is a valid key; use the signators on a key for that kind of
        !            14: security.  This service can be discontinued at any time without prior
        !            15: notification.
        !            16: 
        !            17: Each keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages.  The
        !            18: commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line.
        !            19: 
        !            20:         To: [email protected]

        !            22:         Subject: help
        !            23: 
        !            24: Sending your key to ONE server is enough.  After it processes your
        !            25: key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically.
        !            26: 
        !            27: For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key if it is
        !            28: already there, send a message similar to the following to any server:
        !            29: 
        !            30:         To: [email protected]
        !            31:         From: [email protected]
        !            32:         Subject: add
        !            33: 
        !            34:         -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
        !            35:         Version: 2.6.3i
        !            36: 
        !            37:         <blah blah blah>
        !            38:         -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
        !            39: 
        !            40: COMPROMISED KEYS:  Create a Key Revocation Certificate (read the PGP
        !            41: docs on how to do that) and mail your key to the server once again,
        !            42: with the ADD command.
        !            43: 
        !            44: Valid commands are:
        !            45: 
        !            46: Command                Message body contains
        !            47: --------------------------------------------------------------------
        !            48: ADD            Your PGP public key (key to add is body of msg) (-ka)
        !            49: INDEX          List all PGP keys the server knows about (-kv)
        !            50: VERBOSE INDEX  List all PGP keys, verbose format (-kvv)
        !            51: GET            Get the whole public key ring (-kxa *)
        !            52: GET <userid>   Get just that one key (-kxa <userid>)
        !            53: MGET <userid>  Get all keys which match <userid>
        !            54: LAST <n>       Get all keys uploaded during last <n> days
        !            55: --------------------------------------------------------------------
        !            56: 
        !            57: Examples for the MGET command:
        !            58: 
        !            59:         MGET michael            Gets all keys which have "michael" in them
        !            60:         MGET iastate            All keys which contain "iastate"
        !            61:         MGET 0AF605A5|683A738B  Those two keyids
        !            62: 
        !            63: If you wish to get the entire key ring and have access to FTP, it
        !            64: would be a lot more efficient to use FTP rather than e-mail. Using
        !            65: e-mail, the entire key ring can generate a many part message, which
        !            66: you will have to reconstruct into a single file before adding it to
        !            67: your key ring.
