It's a ridiculously delayed reply, but I just was busy with other things. The reason is that other people are not well familiar with encripted mail. I can ask the potential sponsrs to do some extra operations, like installing/using encripting software, etc. I already ask them for a favor to look at my proposal, and consider it for funding. My communication with them should be as semless as possible. However, I like the idea of electronic signature. > Talking about signing, I thought I'd add an unrelated tidbit to this > discussion.
