But signatures, whether attached or inline are useless and unwanted on 90% of the professional mailing lists I am on. No where did I say digital signatures weren't important. They are a vital tool in personal communication, not on a group mailing lists. I said they were not appreciated on mailing lists. In fact, I believe rfc1855 mentions something about it. One of those "netiquette" rfcs. I am backing off as this is completely off topic. -- Rik Thomas rikt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ValuableHost.com ValuableNames.net ICQ 879956 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
