    Many people are already using digital signatures. The occurence
    of massively forged senders in e-mails by spammers and viruses
    could be seen as motivation to establish a more widespread use
    of digital signatures. Of course it doesn't help for e-mail
    that we receive (unless we complain to the sender that one would
    only accept signed e-mails, which is a bit tough), but at least
    one could tell anyone, who complains that one has sent a virus, to
    check for the signature.

    Just a thought,
     Daniel

    P.S.: If your MUA complains about my signature, be sure to import the
          CA certificates from http://ca.in.tum.de/, just because it's not
                            in the mozilla default root-ca set, it is not a less trustworthy CA.
