A friend of mine has a bit of a conspiracy theory going - asking why there
is no e-mail program that defaults to at *least* signing messages
cryptographically, if not using encryption as a default. He has a point:
none of the major distros set up their e-mail clients to default to
signing, or anything - why not?

Sure, it's not the super-privacy-protective that heads or tails provides,
but signing at least provides some confirmation that things haven't been
changed along the way.
