In reality it isn't 2 displays, the first screen is a notification of what a
Digitally Signed Message is, and provides an option to never see that screen
again.  The second screen displays a security warning, which has performed
various checks on the digital ID, and there is no way to disable it for all
signed messages, only for the currently signed message.  Then you can either
add'em to the list, or open the message.

The reason I posted in the first place is that I believe Digitally Signed
Messages and HTML postings to the list provide absolutely no additional info
for the topic currently being discussed.  Which should be banned.

Digitally Signing appropriate messages I have no problem with. (i.e.
PATCHES).
