Actually it SHOULD be disabled for mailing lists.

What does digital signing get you? It simply "proves" that the person
who sent me mail yesterday is the same person sending me mail today. For
someone like a lawyer that is a good thing. I just don't see the point
when it comes to a mailing list. Do I care if someone is using your
email address? No. It might produce one email that is blatently not you,
and then the admins will just set the account to mod.

Digital signing IMHO is absolutely USELESS on a public list, and just
wastes more bandwidth.

No clue. I frankly don't want people using digital signatures on the
list and I certainly won't investigate this issue. Whether the other
admins think differently is up to them.

Now, with all that said, I STRONGLY suggest ANYONE using OE switch
today. There are SO many other FAR BETTER choices for mail clients. If
you use Linux, Ximian Evolution is an amazing piece of software
(especially the latest version).

For windows I'm not as familiar with the offerings, but I'm sure others
here will pipe up if someone requests some advice.
