To all the people who posted to this thread about how they don't know what
a PGP key signature means, and who did not PGP or S/MIME their email:
What's the upside to signing my email? I know why I want everybody I know
to sign my email, but what's the upside for me if I do it? Until there's a
clear win, it's not going to happen.
If you, (like I am) are persistent in signing all email, an unsigned
email from you is going to Raise Concerns.
Bonus point: Signed email gets insane upvotes in Spamassassin.
Mutt, Mulberry, and Mail.app (the latter with GPGMail) all do a splendid
job of checking the box for you so that you mostly effortlessly can sign
all outgoing email. The software is there. The web of trust still is a
pain to maintain, but the tools and the benefits are both present.
