[PLUG] PGP.com weirdness

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I received some possible spam from pgp.com today.  The weird thing is
that they sent me non-secure email.  Why would they do that?  The web
link doesn't ask me to sign anything.  It's strange.

Anyone know what they're up to?

VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS

You submitted a key to the PGP public keyserver. The 
PGP public keyserver is now being transitioned to the new PGP Global 
Directory, and your key is one of those that will be automatically 
transferred from the old keyserver.

One of the features of the new PGP Global Directory is that all email 
addresses on the keys in the directory are verified.

The email address:
jeff@purple.com
is attached to this key.

 Please confirm this is your PGP public key and email address by
