I wouldn't know, since I cannot verify the use by other people of it. But I 
know it's quite a common use among for instance many developers. And since 
this is not an internet forum but a mailinglist, and especially a public one 
(everyone can pose as Mike!, but nobody can fake my signatire), I can only 
see advantages of using GPG/PGP signatures. These signatures are intended for 
email correspondation.
