Incorrect. They are *not* the same statement. "some" may mean
in reality (and often does) "none". Versus our domain signing every
piece of legitimate mail even if some of the signatures get broken
due to mailing lists.
You are missing my point: What good are the keys if the ones you are
handing me are to a Waffle House or 7-11?

No. "I sign all mail" is merely a statement of fact. "should always be
intact"
is predictive. They are *not* the same.
I was basing this comment on my previous comment that "I sign some
mail" is pointless. So if it is pointless, you now have a binary
choice. I sign all mail or I don't. If you don't, no need to publish a
record. Which as logic would have it, would mean that if you did have
a record, you sign all mail.
