AMEN!  :-)

Ok guys, this thread over 0.2K is now 88.6K large (before I add to it)

I would like to add:

1: The couple whining about those attachements must be bored, or have a  
really small HD.

2: In regard to #1, simply set Mail.app not to download attachements  
before needed.

3: An alternative to PGP, is to use a Certificate. I do, and it works  
very well, and it's all build-in in Mail.app. Cool thing here, is that  
Certificates is stored in your Keychain, and One signed email exchange  
enables encryption between the peers.
Learn more here:

search=Go&lr=lang_en&kword=&q=Mail%20Certificate

4: Why is it even nessesary to sign stuff on a public list?
I mean, are there Really that many attempts at spoffing your statements  
on public lists?
I haven't seen any in the 15 years I have been on 'the net'. So, if  
there Should be a somewhat valid argument regarding those  
attachements/signatures (1 vote not for ascii signatures!), it should  
be that it's simply a vaste of effort.

Have fun!
