Fine.  I'll answer for them.  It's called PGP.  You might try looking it up 
some time.  They are PGP-signing their posts, and the sig comes across as 
an attachment.

Here - I'll copy Valdis' sig from his most recent post:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux)
Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001

=DTsh
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

You might try using an MUA that actually understands this stuff.
