Hi Manfred,
On 01 January 2001 at 21:22:29 +0000 (which was 21:22 where I
live) Manfred Ell wrote and made these points:

This was specifically banned for use on TBUDL and was only sanctioned
for testing purposes on TBBETA. This was for the reasons stated,
vis-a-vis that S/MIME signatures include the key and over inflate the
post sizes by far to high a percentage.
Slightly in Georges defence, and for the sake of those that didn't
realize the difference, George uses his RSA key when signing whereas
the majority of us use DH/DSS. An RSA signature is usually two or
three times the size of a DH/DSS signature. Although I have an RSA key
I don't use it for this reason.
