   Hello Wilfred!   
      
   I haven't seen PGP signing used very much in the echos (or at least not   
   in the few and active ones that I read).  Where else do you see it used?   
      
      
    AA>> Since then, I've learned to sign the pdf version of the doc   
    AA>> and email it back.   
      
    AA>> But a pgp signature would be even simpler and faster.   
      
    WvV> If they can verify the signature is really made by who you   
    WvV> claim you are! It would be even better, because it's easier   
    WvV> to create a false hand written signature.   
      
   I don't think they would lack any confidence in an email that they use   
   to send me reminders of an overdue invoice, with my ACK.    And..   
   many vendors keep a record of email addys after a phone call with me   
   giving them a specific addy.   
      
   Yep.  PGP signing would be a very convenient solution for signing   
   agreements with on-sale dates that I have to acknowledge.
