Um, I might be showing my ignorance here, but along with getting the
senders to sign the emails, for that to be effective doesn't it require
the people on the receiving end to verify the signature?  That, I
think, would be even tougher to get people to do...unless maybe they've
been through their Computer Education course, at minimum have their
learner's permit, and someone with at least 5 years computing
experience is sitting next to them.
