Hello all.

There are a couple more gpg questions that I have, to which I was not
able to find an answer.

1. If your key has more then 1 uid, how is the order in which uids get
displayed determined? Also, can this order be changed, if so then how?
For example, since the address I use the most to send mail from is
greg at romuald.net.eu.org, I would like gpg when invoked by mutt, to
display the uid with that email address first, followed by the other
uids.

2. My second question is regarding the web of trust. Say that person a
signs person b's public key. How then does the rest of the world know
that person a trusts person b's key in order to build the web of
trust? Does person a export person b's key to a key server after
signing it, assuming of course that person b's key already exists in
the key server's database?

Thanks.

Greg
