I think there may be some confusion about the usefulness of signing
*all* email.
Unless you have been given in person [1] the fingerprint and you have
some physical way of associating a signed email with the person there
is very little value in signing your email. I would say [guess] that
most people do not have the additions to their mail reader to allow
for a key to be authenticated/downloaded.

Or maybe I should get myself a mail client that pretty prints the pgp
headers...
