Hmm very interesting just did a search on Download.com for RFC 2015, guess
how many hit's I got? 0, you know you and Microsoft Developers have alot in
common, why don't you step out of your box for a little bit, and get with
the real world.  This is about education, and getting this out to the
average person, the average net user knows about download.com, and cnet.com,
and zdnet.com etc.  They don't know about the url's you presented, and this
is exactly my point!

    Some additional informational resources for your benefit:

      - RFC 2015, "MIME Security with Pretty Good Privacy", M. Elkins,
	October, 1996,
	http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2015.html , spells
	out the standards for encrypted and cryptographically signed
	email.  Note that signature-as-attachment is required by
	RFC2015.

	Note also that munging the content of multipart/signed messages
	violates RFC2015.  This addresses issues with several broken
	mailing list management software packages.

     -  For a list of mailers supporting RFC2015, see:
