PRZ Announcement

[Philip Zimmermann]

In my last message to this list, I pointed out that my name is spelled
Philip.  I neglected to point out that I also did not write the message
allegedly from me (or from Phillip).  This is why that for signed messages, 
we need to make sure that the signing key is properly signed by trusted 
introducers.  --prz
