At the risk of sounding offtopic and political, as participants in IT and the open source community at large, aren't we supposed to hold ourselves to the "higher standard" and promote the use of encrypted email? If we're refusing to read signed messages because we have client-side problems with signatures (and are too lazy to fix them), how do we expect (or wish for) the rest of the world to do so?
