What's wrong with unencrypted, but still authenticated mail? At least
you know whom you're communicating with - in theory. ;)
Not *usually* important past the regular sig/addr, and the
authentication is iffy.
AND, the added weight in text to the un-auth post is >100%, your post.
Also, I'm not sure how I know who I'm communicating with: the mail
came from the procmail list, not you. It seems to me it could be
forged. I admit I don't know much about authenticated mail. But
I also know it would be pretty wild for someone to claim to be Axel
Thimm and start asking list questions about failed LASTFOLDER
delivery. If it's really your _Doppelgaenger_ asking and not you,
(a) you'll soon tell us; and (b) so what? It's still a procmail
question that deserves to be answered.
I'm reading this list with mutt, and the MIME parts just
add cruft and ugliness to the mail.

but there's always a first time, I guess)
