If i write a message to the mutt list, sign it with my key, and forge a from header that makes it appear to come from you, the status bar will display, "PGP signature successfully verified." and the only signal to the user that something is up will be the PGP text, which would say something like: [-- PGP output follows (current time: Fri 29 Mar 2002 03:26:10 PM EST) --] gpg: Signature made Fri 29 Mar 2002 03:24:44 PM EST using DSA key ID 8937D7B6 gpg: Good signature from "Mike Schiraldi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" gpg: aka "Mike Schiraldi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" [-- End of PGP output --] If that report were printed at the end of the message, i could just end my message with a ton of blank lines and few people would bother scrolling to the end. -- Mike Schiraldi VeriSign Applied Research
