Yeah, and those `equally dumb' people make up 99% of Internet users.
Ask me about the number of clients who have required user auth for
sending e-mail sometime. No matter how much you tell them about PGP,
GnuPG, reading headers, etc. they will always come back with `we can't
expect our recipients (clients) to determine identity based on
anything except From: address'.
