Digital Signing (Beat The Dead Horse) was Re: Free Software form$

I think that people should be free to use whatever software they choose. 
As far as I can see,  the only folks who have to worry about an Outlook 
user sending an infected e-mail to the group are Windows users without 
adequate virus protection.  If we advocate free software, as in freedom 
of speech, it is contradictory (and kind of funny) for us to try and 
force others to conform to our software preferences, don't you think?
