More to the point, you know that if it's signed by my key, it's from
me, even if I do occasionally slip up and use the work e-mail address
when I should be using my personal one (Bad mutt! No biscuit!)

Unless, of course he has visited http://www.pgpi.org/ and downloaded
one of the free Windows version of PGPi which includes a plugin for
Outlook:

    http://www.pgpi.org/cgi/download.cgi?filename=PGPFW658Win32.zip

Although it seems that PGP Corp have decided that the latest versions
of their software will only include the e-mail plugin in the pay-for
variant.  Dunno if that software will work with WinXP either.  But
thems the breaks when you use commercial OSes.

	Cheers,
