   You are improperly attributing a quote from Neil Rickert which I posted   
   here in news:45c0f005$0$97234$892e7fe2@authen.yellow.readfreenews.net   
   which was originally from  in his message   
   news:ep8evn$5n8$1@usenet.cso.niu.edu   
      
   In my message I gave two links, one snurled googlegroups and one direct   
   googlegroups to the thread when I attributed his cite as   The   
   original message can be found here....

   I think you would be best to go to the newsgroup alt.security.pgp and   
   discuss that with Neil.  The message he posted showed a headerline with   
   the pgp signature in the form of X-PGP-Sig: and it appears that his   
   newsagent is User-Agent: nn/6.7.0   
      
   My understanding from searching on the program xpgpsig is that it is a   
   commandline utility by a German developer but that it supposedly has   
   English docs http://www.elbiah.de/tools/old/  XPgpSig -   
   Kommandozeilen-Tool zum Signieren und Verifizieren von USENET-Artikeln   
   mit "X-PGP-Sig:"-Header.  - Commandline-utility to sign and verify   
   USENET-articles with "X-PGP-Sig:"-header. - Download: xpgpsig.zip
