Hi John, If you take a look at most my emails, they are digitally signed by OpenPGP, so you can be sure that it's *ME* sending the emails. Most are also not encrypted which is why you can read them. If I were to encrypt an email, then you wouldn't be able to read it (given you don't have a key to decrypt the email). It's really easy to setup and does add that little extra peace of mind when needed ;) Cheers, Pedro Lobo
