You need a secure means of exchanging keys. In general email is not a trustworthy mechanism, as it is clearly tamperable. A phone call is marginally better. Though given the current news about skype, I'd think twice about that, too ;)

Of course, you might even say face-to-face is not secure, but I think we all agree that Descartes convinced us sufficiently (the invalidity of his logic, notwithstanding) that we ain't brains in vats!

Of course, you could also reason, "Who cares?", in which case this whole signing business is just silly.
