The signature on the message attached below did not verify.

Pronto Secure has the neat feature of doing signature checking on the 
fly. 

In the process of testing PSecure I have collected from the 
keyservers, the keys of most people on the list who pgp sign their 
messages. (Another neat feature of PSecure makes this a one click task)

I could quite easily perform the service of bouncing messages with bad 
signature back to the list.

Please let me know if people agree that this would be a useful 
service, or is it inappropriate ?

My experience over the past few months is that around 10% of all signed 
traffic on the list checks with a BAD SIGNATURE!
