The very existance of unhashed packets in the key structure is insecure. Given that unhashed packets were a design decision for V4 keys, and given that the PGP/NAI guys are arguably not bone-stupid, some coercion must have been brought to bear. BTW, Wells Fargo is happy with Netscape 4.08, but not 4.07. I had wondered why a 4.08 release was built so long after 4.5x was available. I guess now I know.
