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).
