Good morning, Jeff:

Jeff: I run Outlook Express 6.0 and when I open Mauro's "Certified" mail, I
get a message (see copy below) advising that the mail has been tampered with
.  How do you think the mail was tampered with? And, if it was not...  of
what value is the certificate?

I suspect that my filter rules are interferring with the certificate. Does
that mean that I have to turn off my filters and wade through thousands of
spam mails just so that Mauro can send me a certificate?  To what purpose?

Or should I too (along with most of the world) change my email client to
some obscure program that will allow Mauro's certificate?

Regards, Ron Sherwood

@Large,

The items mentioned are digital signatures used for identity
verification.  Hugh, if you are so adamantly opposed to using better
software and personal identification, that is of course your problem.
It will continue to be more and more acceptable and perhaps even
preferable for emails to have such verifications.

Sincerely,

I understand the interest in providing a security
certificate in some effort to 'prove' identity, but
the last few posts from A/S Mauro D. Ríos and a few
others seem to have some certificate attached - and
make them unreadable by my email client. Therefore,
if they contain writing of interest, I won't be able
to read it. Those of you using such items, please
consider not doing so when posting here.

And no, I won't change my email program.
