I always though PGP should become useful for this - at the lowest level,
just discard any messages without a valid signature.

So, Ivan, here's a candid question: what's to prevent an attacker from
validly PGP-signing all of his attack posts? (the underlying assertion
on my part is, of course, that signing a message would help nothing at
all as far as preventing attacks of the current kind).

But this doesn't
seem to be a popular solution: I don't know of any reader intelligent
enough to have this rule built in, and then what to do about web (gmail)
posters?

So, on top of not resolving the problem at hand, your "solution", by
your own admission, creates a bunch of other issues :-/ Back to the
drawing board with you, methinks...
