Re: OT: Email signing

A follow up question which I haven't yet understood from Googling, what happens when my GPG signed email gets sent to my prof. who used Outlook?

He'll see a message, either with an inline PGP signature, or an attachment (depending on your client configuration), but won't have any indication that the signature is valid. It's just some extra data in the message. He'd have to install a PGP plugin for Outlook, and get your key's fingerprint from you in order to validate signed messages.

This is why I advocate SMIME: more people already have the software to validate your messages.
