I don't think signed only emails are useless. In my personaly opinion I would love to see all companies sending out signed emails that contain invoices. If any company would change their email addresses or someone from another department sends me an email, I would know that this is (presumably) not a phishing attack. (At least was sent from someone within this company which gives me some more trust in the reliability of its contents.) At the moment I receive an email with a sender address that might or might not belong to the company. How can I know? Sure, the company had to put the fingerprints of their key(s) on their website or tell it on the phone and I would have to check it, but that's not a very big problem. Maybe I miss something but, in this case signing seems a good idea to me. Best regards Alex Strobel www.gpg4o.com
