If my opinion matters, I don't think you should do that. GPG and PGP
are under attack by the US law enforcement agencies, and need all the
visible support possible. The signature is one of the very few common
email attachments with any intelligent value. It is small, and doesn't
seriously impact the bandwidth-limited connection. It is very easily
identified, and if the recipient is all that concerned, easily verified
as well.
I agree, in general. That's why I really started using GPG in the first
place. However, I'm only dropping it in sending to this list since people
have complained, not in my other correspondance...perhaps if people's mailers
stop being brain-dead, I'll send my signature to the list again :)
I vote leave it there. As soon as I win this argument with Pine, mine
will be back on.
