The one you are messaging with might use your message and cryptographic signature in a way that could cause you problems. In this case, most people would be best off:
  
-  - Not connecting their identity to their cryptographic identity, or +  - Not connecting their identity to their cryptographic identity(([[pgpfan:signedanon|Signed Anonymous Messages]])), or 
-  - Not signing their messages at all.+  - Not signing their messages at all(([[pgpfan:anonymous|Anonymous Encrypted Messages]])).
