PGP/MIME or cleartext signatures are common practice, especially among people who are sick of receiving complaints in private mail after some spammer or idiot has abused a valid e-mail address again and sent junk/virus to lists or individuals. By signing messages automatically I want to make sure that recipients, who only know me from mailing-lists, are sceptical when they receive an unsigned message with my address/name in the headers. That seems to work. [Instead of receiving complaints, I am notified about abuse of my address occasionally. :)] I disable signatures where people know whether a message is from me actually or whether headers are fake. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ihgh0iMVcrivHFQRAia4AJ9rNwGy4wMqvLzoc/mMHpCQ/e1uVACdH60g 8x8FSluFSuffjs4nMF2yDcU= =7mzc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
