I do not see any reason why not to sign list emails.

I'm signing almost all of my mail and mostly didn't think about it.
(Unsigned mails I'm using for communication with BIG companies, since
they are either unable to accept signed mails or the recipient is not
able to use a MUA which can deal with signed mails. (Outlook often shows
an empty message and two attachments, one is the message I wrote, and
the other one is the signature. But Outlook users seem to tend to ignore
such attachments…)

I'm talking about PGP/MIME, since Inline-PGP has some drawbacks (most
notably the absence of charset information about the signed message.)
