Hi folks,

I've started to use Gnupg lately, seems like a popular thing among
GNU/Linux types.  I can't help but notice that hardly anyone on this
list signs their mail.  Is this a mailing list etiquette thing or
something else?  I know that people who use Outlook Express will get
annoyed if they receive signed mail as for them they get a blank mail
with two attachments, one of which is the message, which they then have
to open in Notepad.  I can see this as being a barrier to potential new
users and that you may discourage the use of gpg as a result.

Am I close, or is that you simply just don't use gpg?

Yours, hoping to learn and trying not foul up!

Al
