-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Mine does. Though it does not authomatically retreive keys form keyservers so if i don't have that key in public keyring i have to fetch it manually and i rarely bother (except if there is something important). Frederick M Avolio <fred () avolio com> said :
You know... there is another question to be asked (and we know the answer to this one also): If you do use encrypted e-mail, do you really (no, really) use authentication? The question needs to be massaged, but I think everyone gets the idea. What, ho! Authentication! Integrity checking!! But if Dave sends me an email I am more likely to trust the context of the e-mail (does this sound like Dave's normal eloquent prose?) than if the signature checks (something must have broken the email as it was processed). A friend automatically sends a digital signature with every message. So do some people on this list. My mail user agent, in that case, does not automatically check. Rather it allows me to if I want. I (almost) never bother. Fred Avolio Consulting, Inc. 16228 Frederick Road, PO Box 609, Lisbon, MD 21765, US +1 410-309-6910 (voice) +1 410-309-6911 (fax) http://www.avolio.com/
