Personally, I find checking a few other participants to be too weak an assurance. I don't believe in security by numbers. If I'm dealing with statistics, I want them to be on the order of "chance of one in 2^127". You might recognise the chosen quantity :-). But everybody is free to decide their own policy. And checking at everyone would hold up the process; it's 64 hex digits to verify! Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail.
