Well now that we're signing...

Well folks, now that more people are signing messages, how about every once
and a while posting your key? It's kind of a drag having to hit the
keyservers.

i disagree.  thats exactly what the keyservers are for!  there is
absolutely no reason to flood mailboxes with your key, especially
when anyone who is really interested in verifying your signature 
can get your get from the keyserver _once_, which is all that is
necessary.

if i already have your key, i dont _want_ to see it again!

	Especially when your key isn't on the servers.

The following procmail rules & shell script automatically request keys
for messages that come in signed where you don't have the key.
Doesn't address multiple keyrings.  Do what you want with the returns,
I dump 'em into a folder to look at now and again.  You might pipe
them to pgp -fka or somesuch.
