We don't need no stinkin' verification.

Use pgp for official communications.

Mailing list's are NOT official communications, and pgp is just a waste of bandwidth.

This list is for user support of Fedora Core 1. Unless you work for RedHat and are making official statements, nothing you need to say warrants pgp.

Since you don't need pgp when communicating on public mailing lists who cares if mozilla does not recognize you pgp signature, it shouldn't be there anyway.
