-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I have a question about style, etiquette, and practicality with disseminating GnuPG info in an email. Hope this question isn't too silly, but I assume that over years of use, general customs have developed, and I have no idea what they are.
Is there any customary practice for including GnuPG/PGP information in an email -- whether to put it in your sig file, or in the comments of your GnuPG signature? Is it useful (or preferred) to have the GnuPG version in the GnuPG signature comment, or frowned on to use/not use the comment from Enigmail or FireGPG? I'm playing around with my email sig now, wondering what to include, but aiming for something short, useful and not redundant or "tacky." It feels silly to put my keyID and a URL to my public key there and also have it tucked away nicely in the header, but who looks in headers? (For all I know, having that in header information is useful for other people's spam filters.) I had a link to my public key in the GnuPG signature comment, but then just moved it to my sig. I made a DSA signing key partly because I wanted a relatively short signature, so I thought it was better to leave that block mess as short as possible. I didn't include a fingerprint, figuring instead to put that on new business cards. I did do a search for this, and the best I found dealt mainly with forum postings and lists: http://marc.info/?l=gnupg-users&m=99530793817456&w=2 What are your practices for this? Is anything seen as useless or gauche?
