Dear mutt users,

since a few days mutt shows wrong PGP key generation dates.  Does
anyone have the same problem?


If  setting pgp_entry_format  is set to

"%4n %t%f %4l/0x%k %-4a %2c %u %[%F]"

mutt shows the key generation date in iso
format as the last entry in each listted key.

I configured mutt to show the dates and present the keys sorted
according to date, in order to easily find the newest key.

But since a few days mutt shows wrong dates.  See attached screen
shot which clearly show key generation dates which predate public
key encryption.  You may download the shown keys from a key
server and check there dates...

This is strange since mutt extracts these infos from gpg
--with-colons --list-keys command which shows the dates as
seconds since the epoch.  I checked the output of the gpg
command: the dates seem fine (there is a date for every uid but
none of the dates is form 1954 or 1963).  Therefore I conclude
that mutt misinterprets the output of gpg.  But I don't have a
clue why?


Any ideas/help?

Ciao, Gregor
