Re: signature.asc files

I had no intent to turn this into a heavy discussion but the 70 plus signature.asc files I have to remove from my system daily are becoming a pain. Why oh why do we need sigs on a mailing list??

In any case, my options are few
- accept the fact that I must delete these things from my 'Attachment' folder daily (if I opt for deletion of attachments when I delete the accompanying messages I will inadvertantly delete attachments which I wish to keep)
- unsubscribe from this list which I have been reading to familiarize myself with Linux before moving from Windows
- find a Windows client that meets the so called needs of the RFC which is not a mandated standard at the best of times and then train my wife on the new client before having to retrain her when I eventually move to Linux - do the gurus, particularly those who say I must scrap Eudora, know of a suitable freeware client which is supported by Windows 98?


Simple things like this should not be so complex to resolve

Use pgp for official communications.
Mailing list's are NOT official communications, and pgp is just a waste of bandwidth.
This list is for user support of Fedora Core 1. Unless you work for RedHat and are making official statements, nothing you need to say warrants pgp.
Since you don't need pgp when communicating on public mailing lists who cares if mozilla does not recognize you pgp signature, it shouldn't be there anyway.
I personally agree 100% here. I don't see a need for PGP verification for
general list traffic.

My point exactly[1].
