Re: PGP and verifying ids / emails (fwd)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Adam,
Your statements seem to be based on the assumption that Debian
communication is the sum total of my email. Not true. I indeed use
procmail, and have done so for quite sometime now, and I even venture to
suggest that I might be able to teach you a thing or two about it. My
primary id is used solely for non-Debian communication. My Jor-el id, I
use for Debian related stuff. The Debian stuff itself is sorted into
various folders by using procmail.
As far as the other points you raised, see my other email.
Thanks,
Jor-el
