Here, here! I wholeheartedly agree with this. If the Executive started sending 
email signed with their GPG keys and the rest of us on the list had their 
public keys we would KNOW it was from them.

Fabulous idea Trevor, now why didn't I think of that? <grin>

Actually, I proposed the idea to the Executive I was a party to and I also 
suggested this to Shawn a little while ago. Promoting the adoption of GPG 
would be great for us all. We were a little technically challenged but 
there's no excuse now.

GPG is available for any OS, so there's no limitation if you aren't running 
Linux. Not all email clients support it but I _believe_ you can still check 
the validity of a message regardless of what client you use. You may have to 
jump through a couple hoops but you can do it.

How many more reasons do you need to give it a go? I can tutor anyone in the 
use of GPG. This will depend on MY availability but I offer it to anyone out 
there. I'm on IRC or Skype frequently so I could easily walk someone through 
the mechanics of the procedure. Again, 
http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html is the best resource and it is 
written very plainly. Not hard to get up and running with this. The only 
thing to keep in mind is that if you want the ability to sign messages as 
well as the ability to encrypt them, you will need to select DSA and ElGamel.
