This is your prejudice. Until and unless you've done a statistically significant polling of a representative cross-section of users, you just don't know. If the people you're training are like this, great, but please don't assume your experiences are representative of either the userbase or the trainerbase. > When recieving a signed email there are only four possibilities: 1. > the message is manipulated (wrong signature) No. 99% of bad signatures are actually attached to untampered emails.

No. You show them a message saying the integrity is not assured. This is semantically different. > This makes not much sense to me. It's even irrational to me.
