Many people are already using digital signatures. The occurence
of massively forged senders in e-mails by spammers and viruses
could be seen as motivation to establish a more widespread use
of digital signatures. Of course it doesn't help for e-mail
that we receive (unless we complain to the sender that one would
only accept signed e-mails, which is a bit tough), but at least
one could tell anyone, who complains that one has sent a virus, to
check for the signature.

Just a thought,
 Daniel

P.S.: If your MUA complains about my signature, be sure to import the
      CA certificates from http://ca.in.tum.de/, just because it's not
			in the mozilla default root-ca set, it is not a less trustworthy CA.
