Sorry, I use Outlook to read this list at work, and initially when I see posts to the list from you, it says that the message has an invalid digital signature, that message was displayed for this message as well, normally I just ignore and automatically delete such messages. That invalid digital signature message is not displayed for most other posters, so I can only assume that it is something different about your posts. I have a bit of trouble taking somone seriously who advocates open standards, yet chooses to personally use a digital signature that displays as invalid on one of the most widely used email clients in the world, that seems a bit inconsistant to me.
