This morning, Wednesday, August 1, 2001, a friend > of mine contacted me regarding the posting of his "signed" email that was, I What do you mean by "sigend" email? I saw another e-mail of him, with only his name and department underneath, so I guess the posting of your friend is posted as-is, with a name and a department as 'signature'. This is not considered a "signature" in my country, how can you ever prove that this posting really did come from your friend? I can "sign" this e-mail message exactly the same way as your friend did, does that make it a message from your friend? Only PGP/GPG/S-Mime signatures could prove some authenticity and it depends on your law if this is even considered "legel".
