-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Bob,
> People add PGP Key ID or Fingerprint to their signatures. Which is > preferable/better to help interested parties find your key? that depends on where your key is (on public server or not) and what your primary concern is: If your key is on a key server and does contain your e-mail address, then your communication partner needs nothing. He may fetch the key. If he knows that you use PGP and how to query a keyserver. If your message is signed, then both are available to the receipient: your UID (the FROM: address) and your KeyID (from your signature). If you have more than one key (I have!), then a KeyID would be more precise. On the other hand: as long as your keys are maintained properly on the server (that is, old keys are revoked) and there are no fake keys (mind that ANYONE may generate and upload a key with your address!), the knowledgable will be able to retreive your key. But you might want to give a hint that you are able to receive PGP encrypted messages in the first place! And as said it depends on the knowledge of you partners: not everyone deducts "oh, I can encrypt" from 0xABCD1234 ... but even if you give hkp://... or https//keyserv/... many won't know what to do. So I prefer to include a link to an article my own website where I have all the space to explain and to link to my key. I also have my Key URL set als X-Header (see Account Settings -> OpenPGP -> Advanced). That way, clients may automate to fetch my key.
