I'm not sure, although I did not encounter any issues with gnupg (even the
unpatched one) and enigmail; Just to be on the safe side, what about making the
fpr line depend on the "fingerprint" parameter? Currently, "fingerprint=on" is
only used for human readable output, so extending it to "mr" should not break
any clients.
