If everyone you know signs their mail with their own GPG key or encrypts it to you with yours, then do the following: 1. Have your spam filter score signed and/or encrypted messages much higher than those that are not. 2. Filter signed and/or encrypted messages to some specific folder. 3. Tell people that you *always* GPG sign your messages or encrypt to them and that if they receive a message "from" your email address that is neither signed nor encrypted, they can safely discard it without even looking. It is by no means perfect, but it makes sense. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
