File extension for public keyring?

[Justin]

Normally when I export a public key in ascii armored format I use asc,
but what about if I don't specify the armored option? Should it be
*.key, *.pgp, *.gpg?

What difference does it make?

If I send it to a windows user, their software might get confused.

You should probably name it .asc and send it armored then.

The ASCII format protects against characters being translated as files are
emailed or ftp'd over the net.

Did you want to send your entire keyring or only one public key?
