    Too many of us, myself included were signing every email with GNUPG 
because we were too stupid to turn it off. After a few weeks I found the 
place in Thunderbird to turn it off, and did so. I have an occasional 
need for encryption on business dealings. Now I receive the encrypted 
request with usually a form to fill out and I do the proper thing and 
encript the response. Then turn it off.
