PGP can be used to AUTHENTICATE a message, you don't have to encrypt/decrypt 
the message. Furthermore, the list server could implement PGP (or another 
authentication scheme) and reject any message that does NOT authenticate. This 
way, PGP would be transparent to the readers.

The net effect would be, that people who are concerned about fakes could send 
messages using PGP and authenticity would be guaranteed and fakes would be 
immediately recognized.
