I think the idea is not quite thoroughly thought through. It is only an idea for signing data; it does not mention encryption. In addition, it does not cover anything like multi-part emails (attachments, HTML mails) and partially signed mails. I think the far bigger issue these days is encryption, not signing. - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.22 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEVAwUBUySJZck25cDiHiw+AQgVDgf+NOaBR2VNXfyvhRolEYN5A5TUS/TPZHp7 b5M1DXAlGGXjhZ2ca4zpWRXrNaSXo+f82La15twa1RxcUt+mbrchrLKZHaAGgdRF t7xmQaLd9UyP71EpTN8gB05CjAhQeq5/xMrPm/IOhOJn3KhxJutkRyV/TM0QSoY/ LC4IfJSLDoFnRZcvSOXk8kkGhGZbZOd6SufHWLmRu5jm0NWK62h0iaKNVuijM3PW 6anf4unX0xJozz2S4qEKajJ3eQ6DSsal8dqWQ1ZO/mq5HDaTbDzvGPU+POY7bPmm lkTIzkwhuQyltHD/AWpgvoxaQXxgCPHx/QGNAsetPjFB2e+Qjfb7oA== =3K0B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
