There is no flaming ion this list.

I disagree; in business, signing might be necessary. On mailing lists,
where everybody can use phantasy names and most use freemail accounts,
it is not necessary. If anybody wants to impersonate me on a mailing
list, the IQ level of that list must be so low that I might not want
to be a member anyway.
Especially, please do not blow your postings up to over 7K just
because of this S/Mime (which v.145 release doesn't recognise anyway -
you're on the TBUDL here). Some people pay internet charges per
download time; this list is meant to assist people who have problems
or questions with TB.
