[Attachment #2 (multipart/signed)]


I do not use the Gmail interface any more; I only use the Thunderbird
client and typed the signature in the edit field found in the Tools |
Account options | General dialogue. It always appears in the body, right
under the point where I type. If this is the case it should not
interfere with Enigmail or GnuPG, correct?

PS. I learnt my lesson about including any signature for a mailing list.
