I want to visit your link except what you said makes no sense to me.  I think
this subscriber crowd would leap on the idea of a nacl-based mailing list.
Everybody knows that email is a crummy, weak norm.

I'm going to wordwrap this whole message, pipe it to sha512sum, and encrypt the
hash to your key.  I'll paste it in to a terminal and end it by hitting ctrl-D
on a blank line, then add a new blank line and the cyphertext at the bottom.
Would you be interested in verifying the checksum?

Here's the encrypted message you sent me, decrypted and rewrapped.  I don't
remember how many characters e-mail wraps to, this is my vim default.

Would you be willing to reply encrypted, so I can have more confidence the
reply has not been altered in transit?  Would you be able to include my message
in your reply, so I can know that you are replying to the same words that I
sent?  A man in the middle could have also made a naclbox identity, and if so
we would want them to copy our words accurately.

Sure, no problem. But as I posted this key I currently use is a *test* key on
my online computer.
