# Hide your PGP version & other PGP version metadata with these two config lines. | |

# NOTE if you are using Thunderbird+Enigmail you probably need to set this again in | |

# Some notes: | |

# If you're super paranoid, you might want to check out what TAILS | |
# uses too. Longer key ID display, stronger crypto prefs, etc. | |
# (But note that some of the config is Tor-specific.) | |

# NOTE that when using Mac Mail (GPGTools) -- which sends by PGP/MIME by default | |
# instead of a scary plaintext BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE block -- you'll probably | |
# leak that you're using GPGTools anyway, because the MIME header says it was generated | |
# with GPGTools. | |
# | |
# And of course, your mail client is probably identifying itself and putting its version | |
# in the e-mail headers. TorBirdy https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/torbirdy/ | |
# for Thunderbird at least attempts to hide what version of Thunderbird you have, what time zone | |
# you're in, etc. Your mileage may vary. |
