Dear all,

Apologize if I have caused inconveniences to somebody to read some of my
messages for that they have arrived signed digitally.

What happens is that for my work those e-mails they go mostly signed,
sometimes forgetfulness to remove it or the habit is stronger.  ;-)

I use Outlook Express 6.0 (last update) and in another office Outlook 2000

saludos,
Mauro.-

I would hesitate to accuse anyone, but since my Outlook (using Word
2002) has no difficulty opening the mentioned signature and says nothing
whatsoever about it being tampered with, perhaps you have misread or
misunderstood what the Express version is trying to tell you?  It has
been my experience that mere filtering using the Rules Wizard does not
alter content, but if one tries to get too fancy and creates specialized
filters there is always that possibility when adding code that errors
creep into the process....  The comment suggesting the Mauro's emails
have been tampered with is questionable and could be considered evidence
that your email provider is being tapped, not that Mauro's emails are in
some fashion invalid.  I hardly consider Outlook as it is included with
MS Windows XP to be an "obscure" program.

Here are the contents of what Outlook tells ME when I open the signature
block:

OK: Signed by mdrios@adinet.com.uy using RSA/SHA1 at 10:57:01 PM
6/1/2003.


Sincerely,

Good morning, Jeff:

You wrote:
"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."

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
