I don't recall being required to "ultimately trust" someone to send them
encrypted mail.  I'd call that a foolhardy thing, too.  It'd be better
to set your mailer to trust people on your keyring - that affects what
you do with the keys, rather than inappropriately bodging the keys,
themselves.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
