Yes, you add 10 lines of spam to every message
you send. What's the
benefit? How does this help us? Sorry, but I've been meaning to ask
the PGP'ers for a while now. Is there such a great risk that someone
will impersonate you and we will fall for it? It seems to me that
signing your message lets you prove that you indeed were the author of
a message. But it doesn't help an unsuspecting person know that you
weren't the author of a message.
