-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Ok, as per usual, I've got another oddball-off-the-wall question here...
Is there a way to do PGP or verify PGP signatures with AOL? The reason
that I ask is that my mother uses AOL (suprise). When I send her
one-liner emails or emails that are "uncharacteristic" of myself
(whatever that means?), she questions the message and we send 3 or 4
messages back and forth as I tell her what the message was about, and
that "yes, it's really me; i just figured you'd find that email funny"
or whatever.
Then my PGP signature occurred to me, and I realized that if I "sign"
all my messages, she'll take comfort knowing that I'm not "some
web-scammer or someone trying to hack into her computer by posing as an
email from me".
Anyone have any thoughts? Suprisingly, Google proved to be sparse on
content (maybe they avoid AOL pages intentionally...)
Thanks in advance,
- -CB
