Not at all; you got it working, quickly, and other people will benefit from that experience. Here was a great place, IMNERHO. > about it, as this is not the case. Man oh man, how my original question > grew a thread of a larger measure - it wasn't my purpose, either. It's an important question. Especially in the US, where we've got a new law saying digital sigs are legally the same as paper sigs, and where we've got court cases going on that are defining the contents of emails as being equivalent to paper statements even WITHOUT digital sigs. I predict that within 18 months, we'll see a case of somebody needing to use the unsigned status of an email as a defense that they didn't write the email. This, of course, affects you less if you're not in the US.
