because a lot of people (me included) have mutt sign their messages
automatically, and often don't bother/forget to tell it not to sign to
lists...

Set your mutt/gpg to automatically get keys from a keyserver (like
wwwkeys.pgp.net) and then when it encounters a key it doesn't know, it'll
try and get it and automatically verify it. it's pretty cool. :)

About PGP public key service. (With P.S.)
I heard that people have troubles with public PGP key service.
That's why I'd like to introduce the way I did it myself.
I hope that this info will be helpful for someone.

1) In ~/.procmailrc:
:0
* ^Subject: publicpgpkey
| /home/eugene/bin/publicpgpkey "`formail -x 'From: '`"
2) /home/eugene/bin/publicpgpkey:
#!/bin/sh
KEYRING=/home/eugene/.pgp/pubring.pkr
PUBLIC=/tmp/publicpgpkey
USERID=Eugene
if [ "$1" == "--help" ] ; then
echo "Public PGP key utility."
echo "Usage: $0 [e-mail]"
echo "e-mail: To send public PGP key to a particular e-mail."
exit 0
fi
pgp -kxa $USERID $PUBLIC $KEYRING > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ ! -n "$1" ] ; then
cat $PUBLIC
rm -f $PUBLIC
exit 0
fi
mail "$1" -s "Public PGP key of Eugene Paskevich" < $PUBLIC
if [ ! "`cat /proc/$PPID/cmdline`" == "-bash" ] ; then
echo `date ; echo "$1"` >> /home/eugene/.pgp/people
fi
rm -f $PUBLIC
-
Now one can make changes for him/herself and be happy.
P.S. There are two things I still can't understand.
1) Why do people post here signed messages. I think there's no need in it.
2) If they sign their messages they suppose that someone have their public
key to verify signature. Where can I get it? From public server of keys?
{I don't remember the correct name.} Again, there is no need in these
servers. 'couse noone would ask for public key of an unknown man just to
verify a signature.
It's a stupid idea as for me.
