I don't use it on mailing lists because it just takes up space and confuses newcomers. I use it if I want to make sure that a particular person can be sure the email is from me. It's also useful for encrypting mail.
The final line (gpg --keyserver, etc.) tells someone how to get my pgp key. I will sign this particular email inline, with apologies to the list for space taking, just to show you what it is. (I can also just sign--in this case, I'm doing it in line so that email clients don't see it as an attachment.) - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Willow: Why couldn't he be possessed by a puppy, or some ducks? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFN0/VJ+lTVdes0Z9YRAjP7AJ9AHadhCukEGXs9YOLaxdPO5GFhowCfa+Bw IFUxqN0KdJWAHaZ30tRlm/w= =uEpL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
