From: Bob Snyder <snyderra@dunx1.ocs.drexel.edu> I don't sign/encrypt to mailing list, as many people get disgruntled by it, and can cause problems of it's own. Now encryption I can see disgruntlement at, but a cleartext signature? How about just an annoyance responder that sends a piece of mail to people who post without signing/encrypting, telling them they should be encrypting, that it's the preferred method of doing things, and to do so in the future if possible? I've convinced myself this is a good idea for my own personal mail, at least. As for the list server, some explanation and pointers are in order, to be sure, though not with each message. But "just" a responder? I don't think that induces a sufficient incentive. As a side note, if you want people to sign their notes, why aren't you doing so now? For the same reason that Tim isn't--it's too difficult. Now I've just recently set up a new email machine and I expect that I'll be able to get signing set up on it before the end of the year. I have plenty of irons in the fire already, and this isn't the top priority. it would seem that signing your own messages would be a good way of starting things toward the direction you want to go. It certainly would. My priorities on this are to get myself set up for signing. Then I need to get a recognizer written, then to hack vacation to use alternate database files, then to get my own personal resource list compiled, then to set my personal nagware. Only after all that do I intend to alter the list. Eric
