the user selects a different outbound identity), then the MUA MUST
change the ``Autocrypt`` header accordingly.

An MUA SHOULD send out the same ``keydata`` value in all messages from
a given outbound identity, irrespective of the message's recipients.
If a new OpenPGP certificate is generated (e.g., if the user has a new
key, or updates some OpenPGP metadata), then all subsequent outbound
Autocrypt headers SHOULD use the new certificate for the ``keydata``
attribute.
An MUA SHOULD send out the same ``Autocrypt:`` header in all messages
from a given outbound identity. An MUA SHOULD NOT vary the header
based on the message's recipients. If (for whatever reason) the MUA
needs to update (or discovers an update of) the user's ``keydata`` at
some point, the MUA SHOULD send the updated ``keydata`` in all
subsequent ``Autocrypt`` headers.

See :ref:`example-headers` for examples of outbound headers and
the following sections for header format definitions and parsing.
