You will need your key ID for this.  For instance, my key ID is
0xD6B98E10.  Substitute your own key ID for mine in these instructions.



gpg --edit-key 0xD6B98E10 adduid



Enter the name, email address and comment you want associated with the
key; follow the prompts.  It's pretty straightforward.  Once you have it
done, send it to the keyservers so that everyone can find your key under
your new email address:



gpg --keyserver x-hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --send-key 0xD6B98E10



Presto, done.
