No it isn't. You made an unsupported assertion. I'm asking you to support it. > What is it good for to sign a message send to a public mailing list? That's a different assertion. Saying something is redundant means it adds no new information. If the reader has confidence in the signing key, the signature serves to verify the sender. The only verification done by the mailing list system is the source address, which is easily forged. Thus the signature does add new information for the interested reader and is not redundant. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
