I know why I want everybody I know to sign my email, but what's the upside for me if I do it? Until there's a clear win, it's not going to happen. If you, (like I am) are persistent in signing all email, an unsigned email from you is going to Raise Concerns. Bonus point: Signed email gets insane upvotes in Spamassassin. Mutt, Mulberry, and Mail.app (the latter with GPGMail) all do a splendid job of checking the box for you so that you mostly effortlessly can sign all outgoing email. The software is there. The web of trust still is a pain to maintain, but the tools and the benefits are both present. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 Hey, wait a minute!!
