Hi, re the proposed policy: I read mail offline, usually. The mailer I use, an ms-dos mailer, doesn't support signing mail. It has some allowance for a .sig file, but I can't get it to work. I sometimes reply online, a I am doing now. If I reply online, I can sign messages, I think, using elm. Although I have no idea at all how to do this, but I'm sure I can find out. However, if I use my offline mailer, my mail will be delayed. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but what if I came across something urgent, wrote a reply, and uploaded it immediately? Anyone else in this situation? Dwayne. Who is going to get in touch with the author of this mailer Real Soon Now, he thinks....
