I'm gpg-signing the emails now as I'm dealing with ISPs killing off spammers, and it comes across as nominally more credible as to who I am (would be even better if someone was handy to sign my key ;) when there is the signature. Anyhow, I just re-sent it and got a success message, in case it somehow didn't propogate before. That noted, there are a few expired keys still in use by posters to this list - they are still working, but it wouldn't hurt for everyone to double-check their keys from time to time, update and re-send them. -- Mark L.
