I certainly hope not!  For years I have made it a habit to sign all my 
email.  In that way, if someone ever pops up and says I sent 
such-and-such an email, and it's NOT signed, I can argue that it was 
forged more likely than not.  OR, if it's signed but doesn't verify, I 
can prove it's been modified.  And the signed copy from my "Sent Mail" 
archives can prove exactly what I did send.
