Why do you GPG clearsign your emails instead of using PGP/MIME or something less spammy?

- -

I am clearsigning my emails instead of using PGP/MIME, because I am on -multiple mailing lists and most of them use mailing list software, -which messes up with headers and this way make PGP/MIME signatures -unverifiable.

- -

But clearsigned signature looks ugly.

- -

I know that clearsigned messages may look ugly to email clients, which -don't support PGP, but they can at least be verified on all mailing lists.

- -

I am on slow connection and your signature is too big for me.

- -

I am sorry for that. But keep in mind that your email client would still -download ther PGP/MIME signature (signature.asc) file even if I used -PGP/MIME.
