This all works nicely. There's one thing I'm not clear on, though. How does Gnus indicate to me that a signature has successfully been verified (with mm-verify-option)? I can see that it's doing *something* to verify signed messages since it can take longer to display them, but there's no apparent indication that the verification was successful. -- Right now, there are scr1pt k1dd13s plotting to DDoS my network, my co-lo server is not responding to pings and the people that I IRC with may be involved in both. I'm sysadmin Graeme Mathieson and this is the longest day of my life. http://www.wossname.org.uk/
