I had so many complaints from Outlook people (the majority of
the great unwashed) about GPG signatures, that I've stopped using GPG.

It never did any good, anyway - I reckon it's a lost cause. Who would
want to impersonate me?????

The only point to the whole thing, is sending encrypted mail. Never received
one of those, yet, either.

But I can and do arrange it such my mail server sends TLS to those
I wish it to.

Best,

Tony
