EAX, I'll try to keep this brief since PGP is off-topic in this group. I'm
doing this in the interest of keeping posters like yourself active.
In answer to your question, put phony information everywhere. Make your name
match what we know you by. Don't for example use "nobody" and
"noone@nowhere.com" because sooner or later we'll forget that "EAX" is
"nobody". Of course, "noone@nowhere.com" is totally acceptable as is any
other ridiculous email address, e.g., eax@less.than.
Here's a temp key for me that expires in 10 days. To import my key, right-
click the PGP tray icon, select "Current Window -> Decrypt & Verify". Now,
encrypt your public key to my temp key in the following way:
1. Generate a key pair with phony information. Don't register your key with
any servers.
2. Right-click your new key and select 'Copy'. It may seem you're trying to
copy the pair, but only the public key gets copied.
3. Right-click the tray icon and choose "Clipboard -> Encrypt & Sign"
4. Drag my key which you will have imported to your ring (see above) to the
recipients window, then click OK.
5. Type your passphrase and click OK.
6. Click 'reply' to this message with your newsreader, select everything in
the reply window, then paste your clipboard over top it all.
7. Add any plain text you wish above the block, then 'Post'.
