Should you include your email address on key server?

[Vincent Breitmoser]

Hey Atod,

this depends on the keyserver. For keys.openpgp.org I can say that, in 
accordance to our [privacy policy], email addresses can not be listed 
and are never handed collectively ("as a dump") to third parties, and 
are thus safe from harvesting.

Cheers
