And, BTW, referring to the original idea - which I do promote for
some time now - if you sign every mail someone needs a very
sophisticated programme to send those Melissa kind auto-mails. This
virus has to make everything that Melissa does and to invoke PGP and
then either use the passphrase (hopefully stored only in the brain of
the user) or make the user sign the mail. Only way to do it would be
if someone uses a 24 hour passphrase storage and never shutting down
the PC.
The second part being, people who change files per e-mail can always
check if the signature is ok; nearly the same as calling up and
asking.

Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what
they conceal is vital.
