Huh? Phil almost _never_ signs his messages, and has talked about how difficult it is to go through the rigamarole of signing, authenticating, etc.
(I sympathize with him, and I intensely dislike getting PGP-encrypted messages, decrypting them, only to find a banal message that wasn't worth the effort.)
Huh? Nonsense? vie: - use PGP to sign & encrypt vis: - use PGP to sign Both of these sign or sign/encrypt outgoing messages automatically if you're using "elm" - just use them in place of your favorite editor. pgpview does the same thing for incoming email. Use it in place of your mail viewer in elm. #! /bin/sh # # Created by shar, version 0.5 - 04/10/91 # # This is a shell archive, meaning: # 1. Remove everything about the #! /bin/sh line. # 2.
