Sorry I misspelled your name. :) The point is, it's very, very easy to forge mail to mailing lists (or not to mailing lists, for that matter). It's much harder to forge a valid, signed mail, because you need access to the victim's PGP _private_ key, and their passphrase. -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
