You have an option to import my key under your PGP menu should you wish
to do so . If you have installed Enigmail then go ahead & do it.

However, if you have no wish to use PGP & see it as "polluting the list
with useless crap?", I suggest you uninstall Enigmail. Or you could
continue to be incensed over a dozen or so lines of PGP & keep Enigmail
for some other purpose.
