Ian,

FWIW, I have a scanned copy if my plain old non-electronic signature 
that I imported into Acrobat. That way I can "stamp" it right on a PDF 
and the PDF has my signature on it. I could then GPG sign the PDF, I 
suppose, but nobody else that I deal with knows about GPG.

As far as the legal binding of a GPG signature, I have no idea...

Due to the recent increase in spam and falsely sent email, I now PGP 
Sign all of my outgoing mail to prove my identity. This means that you 
will see an attachment called "PGP.sig" with this message. This 
attachment can be used to prove that I am who I say I am. If you are 
not familiar with PGP, you can safely ignore it. For more information, 
please visit http://www.pgp.com/ or http://www.gnupg.org/
