Getting him to sign the e-mail with his own key won't help much in the case of him later claiming that the e-mail isn't genuine: he could at any time "accidently" publish his secret key and revoke it; now anyone can fake the e-mail. A better solution is to do everything in public so that there are lots of witnesses. > In some countries, it's accepted as > a valid proof of the origin of the email. A signature made with a secret key that was published on Usenet can hardly be a valid proof of anything. Edmund
