Bad news Joe,
according to a discussion on the WinPT users list it is possible to
"harvest" e-mail addresses on a keyserver. Timo Scultz confirmed this, but
it has not happend so far as I know.

I can only think of one countermeasure:
I will not include alla my e-mailaddresses in the userid:s
I can anyhow tell people which key to use (and GPGrelay users can let
GPGrelay create aliases by the option "learn from POP": if a valid
signature is found I get a question if the from address should be a new
alias for an e-mail address found in the user-id of the used signing key.)
