Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to remove the GPGTools comment ("Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org") from the PGP signature in plain-text messages.

Thank you.

   Hi Nathan,

   the comment is configured in gpg.conf which you'll find in ~/.gnupg.
   To open and change that file follow these steps:

   1.) Open new Finder Window
   2.) Press CMD (Apple) + Shift + G simultaneously
   3.) Enter

   ~/.gnupg

   4.) Press Open
   5.) You'll see the file gpg.conf in there, right-click on that file and open with TextEdit.
   6.) Look for the line starting with "comment ..."
   7.) To completely remove the comment put a '#' in front of the line

   #comment ...

         or change it to whatever you want.

   Hope that helps

   Also we have already integrated an editing feature in the latest, unreleased version of the GPGPreferences. But you can try the nightly from there. You'll find a comment field in which you can modify or remove the text in question.

   All the best, steve

   Steve,

   Thanks. I haven't removed it (great tools and I'm happy to advertise), but I am glad to know where the config file is so I can add or change things as I see fit.

   Thanks again,
