-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I have PGP installed on my pc and if I want to use it, I can save the message in ascii, then upload it to the server where I have my Internet account, then mail it.
I use PGP on every outgoing message and about 20% of incoming messages. And I send/receive a *lot* of messages. No way I would be able to do a process like the above on my mail. In a few weeks I will be able to get mail on my home computer, but most (80%?) Internet users will still not have that luxury.
maybe not entirely transparent, but at least it seems to me that the convenience of running it on the server with something like Mr. Wilcox's BAP is not worth the added risk.
In my opinion it *is* worth the risk. I believe that having "BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE" in your posts and e-mail is a social good (raising public awareness of/acceptance of PGP) which is more important than actually protecting my e-mail from spying/forgery.
Besides, how often do you need to use it?
Public awareness/acceptance, traffic analysis, the "electronic envelope" analogy... If you don't use it, it's not doing any good at all.
