This was answered on the list less than a week ago. My answer, one of a few: Signing messages, even if their content is harmless and relatively unimportant is a good practise. If you only sign 'important' messages, then it's easy for people to forge messages from you -- they don't need to sign it. The policy should be that if it isn't signed, it isn't from you. If you sign everything, that policy is realistic. If you sign only some messages, it is not. -- rjbs
