can you deny you sent a signed e-mail?

Unless you gave out the passphrase that protects your secret key--which is
almost equal to giving away ones ID, house keys, car keys, and bank account
numbers, then griping you got 'robbed'. . . . I'm not sure how one COULD
deny.

Hi, 

GPG gives us a method for signing our e-mails so the addressee can be sure
it was sent by yourself.  

But what about the inverse question: can you deny that you sent an e-mail
which has been signed using you secret key?  

Not that I need this :-) it's just out of curiousity.
