The question is why do so many otherwise sensible people feel the need
for digital signatures on this list? After all, most of the messages
are not the type of thing that justify it.
I sympathise with Darryl. Its a nuisance seeing people whose advice you
value but not being able to read their messages. I use Evolution and it
handles GPG. That implies that this problem is easy to solve...I wonder
if there is a plug-in for Outlook Express that would allow it to read
the messages?
