If DK means that each sender signs the message, then you have two

I don't know why you would assume this.
Probably because the mechanism hasn't been properly described in a

Also, past experience has shown that most users hate
to use cryptographic technologies for email or anything else when
they have a choice.
I would say instead that "most users hate to use technologies that
require effort".
Take SSL, which has been very widely adopted for transactions, as a
contradiction of your statement.
