i'm afraid i don't know what "the normal circumstances" are for MacGPG
-- maybe there's better forum for MacGPG someplace?

that's OK, the e-mail address is part of the User ID, and the choice of
User ID(s) is orthogonal to the settings on your primary key or any of
your subkeys.

Maybe -- i have never tried it.  Perhaps someone else else on this list
has more experience with it, though.  If MacGPG is setting up default
keys with such unusual usage flags, it'd be good to know about it.
