Ian, I have to disagree here. I had one instance of my email being spoofed by a disgruntled list member. As I was the list moderator, it caused all sorts of grief. After that, I took steps to ensure that those reading my messages could verify their legitimacy. As our environment gets more "interesting", such protections will become de rigeur. That is why programs like TB! are essential. They build in what should have been there all along: strong encryption and signatures. Mike
