You're wrong.
You can setup Procmail to detect if something is signed
with PGP, and if it is, to run a script which determines
the authenticity of the signature. If the signature is
not authentic, the message goes to /dev/null. That way,
even if Carol is using intercepted messages from Bob, Carol's
messages won't be accepted or seen.
