If using Enigmail in your copy of Thunderbird: OpenPGP --> Key Management.
Click the key you wish to modify and either from the Edit menu or right-click
and select Manage User IDs. Click Add. Fill in Name Email Address and any
Comment. Click OK

From a command (aka DOS) window:

gpg --edit-key 0xdecafbad adduid

Answer the prompts for Real name:, Email address:, & Comment:
If all looks fine, select (O)kay to commit the change.
