I added a paragraph containing a hyperlink to the end of section 4.21
("I still have my secret key, but lost my public key..."). The
paragraph reads: "If you've lost your public key and need to recreate
it instead for continued use with your secret key, you may be able to
use gpgsplit as detailed in question <Rgpgsplit>."

application for MUAs that lack OpenPGP (rfc2015) support to. "Users of
Win32 MUAs that lack OpenPGP support may look into using GPGrelay
<http://http://gpgrelay.sourceforge.net>, a small email-relaying
server that uses GnuPG to enable many email clients to send and
receive emails that conform to PGP-MIME (RFC 2015)."
