That is not true. For example you can't detect a replay or MitM attack. Further even regular signing does not help you if the there is only a limited set of different message contents (i.e. only Yes or No messages). GnuPG is a tool and not a complete solution to all (crypto) use cases. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
