Feel free to test out your sig's and encryption.  You can mail me off
list if you'd like to test the encryption.

If you send an encrypted message to a friend that doesn't have a key the
message will look like junk.

By simply signing a message your are assuring the recipient it is
actually coming from you and not someone borrowing your address for the
moment.  You can select the level of trust for each senders key in key
management.


I hope some of this helps and I'm sure someone will be along shortly to
better explain.

Daryl
