because a more experienced "person" could imitate a header too... pgp is not hard to handle, there are tons of tools which have a pretty good usability and also such a "system" would add a way to verify the sender. another way would be to add SPF records to the valvesoftware.com zone and enable SPF checking on the mailinglist server... ;)
there are several easy to administrate ways to avoid those "trouble" mails. sure, there is no discussion that "normal" ppl are not affected since we can read and investigate but this is more work than usin a secure system generally... ;)

why go though the trouble, when any normal person should have know that was a spoofed mail without even looking at the header.
