Are both of you using the same kind of keys? I have read (I am not sure
if it was in this list, or in gnupg list) RSA signatures are larger than
DSA signatures, so if you are using a DSA key, and your other half
is using RSA keys, maybe that would explain the diference.

My signature is 7 lines long, longer than your signature, but shorter
than her signature... Anyway, Enigmail doesn't have the "attach private
key" option (at least, not anywhere I can see it), and it would be an
incredible bug if that was the case... unless she installed a tampered
version of Enigmail, it is unlikely to happen. Anyway, I suggest she
should set a passphrase, just in case somebody get access to her
computer... without a passphrase, it is easy to export the private key,
or to revoke it...
