Yeah.  He's in for a wakeup call the first time someone he corresponds
with becomes the victim of a spammer forging headers.  It's happened
to me a couple times last week.  Though I do really like being able to
go back through and tell all the people hatemailing me for spamming
that the only way to tell if a mail really came from me is to check
the PGP signature.
