This is my first GPG signed e-mail. Does it look OK?

Looks fine, verifies okay. (I don't have your public key, so I can't fully verify it, of course).

In a later message, you asked why it looks cluttered while others'
messages look neater.  That's because you signed it "inline"; that is,
you made the signature a part of the message.  That's fine, but the
neater and more accepted way of signing a message is to put the
signature into a separate attachment that conforms to the PGP/MIME
protocol.  That's how I signed this message.  See the difference?

To sign a message this way, you have to use an email program that
supports the PGP/MIME protocol.
