If you have had the experience of having nasty mail forged with your
name and header sender information you will value the option of
establishing the practice of _always_ signing your mail so that you
can be more credible when you disclaim any unsigned mail attributed to
you.
I have also come to the opinion that signing all mail and eccrypting
all private mail whose recipient will stand for it is not only wise
self interest but also a boon to the cause of encouraging widespread
acceptance and use of encryption.
