Since this is just a signature, not an encrypted message, it's only marginally useful in verifying identity (since it could be double-blinded and forged anyway). It's annoying to see this sort of thing on a list... if we cared about PGP signatures, Majordomo would verify PGP keys, not us, and list messages would be PGP'ed at the Majordomo side so we could be sure it was, in fact, the list that sent the thing. For all I know, Jordan is adding the PGP signature to those messages from BSDI using his own made-up key just to be annoying. Or maybe Rod Grimes is doing it so he can sell me more disk space (which I would need if I installed the programs and modified my mailc[r]ap file every time someone weenied a new MIME type onto a mailing list). 8-).
