JN>  POLICY4 doesn't mention "messages". It forbids encryption of routed
JN>  traffic (echomail and netmail), and that term includes signitures.
Policy 4 doesn't cover echomail (ask the Z1C). And in addition, since a 
'public key' doesn't carry encrypted data (other than that designed to verify 
a PGP encrypted message, it's not really encryption at all.
But... there's NOTHING being posted in echos that needs to be that securely 
verified as to require a PGP sig.
