Kissing Archbishop's ring?

[Harsalter]

My wife & I will be attending a Mass presided by our archbishop. Is it still proper to kneel on one’s left knee, greet the archbishop by “His Excellency” and kiss his ring?

Also, is there a partial indulgence for this? This is certainly not my motivation, but curious minds would like to know.
