I sent the last message from my gmail without a signature incase you
couldn't read them so you would see my response :)
I know next to nothing about the whole digitally signed messages... I
know that my digital signature comes from Thawte and is a "freemail"
Thawte certificate, so maybe since it's not a government signed
signature it acts differently?
I do not trust the people in charge of our official certificates to
maintain integrity of the private certificates, hence I use my own.
