You miss the point... If you encrypt a mail, the recipiant will _need_ your
public key. Thus he knows your identity regardless whether or not you en-
crypted that mail _for_ your key, too. If you sign your mail, the recipiant
will notice your keys UIDs as well.
I think you wanted to write about 'set pgp_autosign' in .mutttrc? Well, I've
set this, as I don't write spam^Wanonymous mails, but maybe you have a
real use of anonymous mails?
