how are you to use your keys if mail is being handeled over NFS, but keys
are not available via NFS?  I could see people using a local mail client,
local keys and pointing to the mail spool via NFS.  However, most mutt and
pine users I know keep their keys on the mailserver so they don't put
multiple copies of their private key on many boxes as they go from machine
to machine.
