How about: "I sign all email, and respectfully suggest that the risk of harm due to accepting unsigned email is greater than the risk of deleting all email transported through any body or signature altering gateways that cannot be otherwise authenticated"
I don't see mail forwarders as a real problem here. A mail forwarder relationship is by consent of the recipient or the mail should be tossed anyway. Since it is by consent of the recipient the mail forwarder is logically a part of the recipient mail infrastructure and the whole 'problem' of modified messages is irrelevant. Again: we are building a spring here, not a mousetrap. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Farrell > Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 3:11 PM > To: Thomas A.
