Just remove `mime' from the tag to sign the message (i.e. <#secure method=3Dpgpmime mode=3Dsign>).

The above is what I think -- and in every newsgroup or maillist, that has something serious to do with computers, I would say the same. Maybe, with the date of RFC1991 published too. If the target auditorium does not want knowing anything, of course, it would be such as: ``Don't worry and simply ignore that chunk. Frankly, it's the digital signature (if you want, you can read more at [2] and ).[1]'' Note, that this expression does not blame anyone -- when dealing with people, knowing nothing, about subject, it may be the key moment. If they feel interested, they may go to the URLs above, if they're still intrestedm they will be asking: ``How do I manage having those cool digital signatures?'' And it's the maximum, you can reach. [1] It may be a good idea to include the short alike explanation in the signature, used for such newsgroups. [2] I'm not sure, if I've misspelt the URL, and, unfortunately, can't check it at the moment. =2D ---Vas =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+KzJ5oPg1JPzYGEERAqD/AJ9O1fbj+l+nI8fen5cMm7UrBq4PUwCfdy6H uCxRo0bb3WYm8OnvgpI9WlQ=3D =3DBfIB =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
