    This is starting to sound like a flame about to spark. Most of the people
    will not verify gpg signatures, most of the people does not use pgp/gpg.
    RFC's are guidelines, not standards. I have not seeing any software out
    there that adheres 100% to the RFC's, there are always relaxed
    interpretations.

    I would recommend not to use gpg signed messages on the lists, unless it is
    something of such vital importance that verifying the sender is a must (not
    a should). But that is my opinion. I do not mind stripping the gpg/pgp
    attachments at all. It is done automatically for me, so not worries there.

    Cheers,
