do you seal the envelope when you send in your water bill? do you sign the check? we're not really talking as much about encryption here as we are about signatures... i admit that i'm a hypocrite here, since i haven't gotten pgp set up, but i see that it is worthwhile, and if i wasn't using something like gmail, i would be working on setting it up... i want to set up a mail server once i have a server that isn't natted (and i'm too cheap to pay for linode)... honestly, i think that pgp is an important thing... sure... you checked the headers on the email that evan sent... but do you normally check headers? if you got an email that appeared to be from a friend, would you check the headers before trusting it? just my 2 cents. no flames intended... -- -- userfriendly.org -- -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
