Hey Guys,

This is slightly OT, but I have a PGP question. (GPG to be precise) 
When I put my name at the end of emails I send, I have a habit of using 
a dash and then my name (-Josh). I have a plugin for my email client 
(Mail.app for Mac OS X) that automatically GPG signs mail that I send. 
The problem is, GPG puts another dash in front of my name (- -Josh). I 
know, it's a stupid problem to be concerned with, but I was wondering 
what (if anything) I could do to change GPG's behavior? (Rather than 
change my behavior :)

- -Josh

- -----------
Due to the recent increase in spam and falsely sent email, I now PGP 
Sign all of my outgoing mail to prove my identity. This means that you 
will see one of two things on all mail that you receive from me: either 
an attachment called "PGP.sig" or a block of unreadable text below this 
message.

This block of encoded text (or the "PGP.sig" attachment) proves that I 
am who I say I am. If you are not familiar with PGP, you can safely 
ignore it. For more information, please visit http://www.pgp.com/ or
