And to contrast, I've not only had people request this sort of thing, or express surprise that there is no secure way to do passwords, but I've also gotten mail from one user had some, um, choice words for the list administrators when she discovered that her password was sent in plaintext. (It's hard to feel sorry for someone who claims to be concerned about security and yet couldn't be bothered to read the warnings or say, notice that she was sending her password over http in order to subscribe in the first place. I wonder if I kept that message for posterity. She gave us quite the lecture, then unsubscribed in disgust, and hopefully changed that password anywhere else she was using it.) Anyhow, I think giving a PGP option is a great idea. As long as we're not forcing everyone to use it, it'd be a nice alternative for those people who do care. Although if it's not combined with a secure web interface, I'm not too sure it'd have much point.
