I sign my emails with PGP all the time.
One of the problems I noticed is that the signature ends up as an attachment and that confuses the hell out of many people.
Did you send me an attachment? What was that file I couldn't open it!
- p4bl0 8y agoI do the same and I get that a lot. Most of the time from people using Outlook.
- Carpetsmoker 8y agoOnce (or rather, if) PGP gains some traction this problem will disappear; email clients will improve the UX to show a specialised "PGP signed" box and hide the attachment.
- r_c_a_d 8y agoThat's what I thought. But after 5 years I gave up and do not sign my emails any more.
