Although it's clear why Google does not want to "make encryption easy"
(it directly affects their main revenue source, ads), it's never been
clear to me why they have not taken any efforts to make _signing_
easy. To my knowledge, Google is not involved in silently rewriting
emails or otherwise faking emails, so I see no reason they'd be
opposed to it.

(P.S., I really like this vuln. and proceeding thread -- user
interface is overlooked far, far too much in the security domain.)
