Argh, sorry, stupid of me; of course you're right.  I was a bit misled
by the fact that GnuPG, by default, only outputs the fingerprint of the
primary key when --fingerprint is specified on the command line; I kind
of missed the part where --fingerprint may be given more than once and
it will output the fingerprints of all the subkeys.

G'luck,
Peter

If the meanings of 'true' and 'false' were switched, then this sentence wouldn't be false.
