Which code is that which looks abandoned? I know mine isn't. I believe
keyserver.linux.it runs the same PGP-EKP package that Peter Pramberger
created. I've added a few enhancements and had a couple people volunteer
additional translations since then.

Is the attached file an armored key? I don't think the MIME headers for the
attached file will interfere.

Could you try sending such a mail to address@hidden and CC me
on the same mail? Subject ADD

I believe the script I use should handle the attachment just fine. It's only
looking for the armor headers of the key.
