Finger support et al.

Just a "me" thing... I usually sign my e-mail with a pgp (actually gnupg) signature, and was looking for a good way to distribute my public key. I understand many people use a "finger" server to store bits of data about e-mail users and in my case, I could store my public key in my finger account. Can I do this with fastmail? If not, is it ever planned?

Can anyone think of a better way? Sending the public key along with the e-mail message is a _bad_ idea!

We have no plans to provide finger support. However you could always get a finger account elsewhere. Or, use a public key server, or put your key on a web page.

How would I go about doing this? Could I still make it so if someone fingers bsiegel@fastmail.fm it shows the data off their server?
