I apologize! The reason why I have switched it on by default is that I want to get people in discussions about digital signing, so that more and more people will understand how that works in the future. Btw: A digital signed message is just a MIME-Message with an attachment that has the Hash digital encrypted. Do you think that it is evil to use MIME-Messages on a mailinglist these days?
