Darren,

can you send me such a signed message?  There are probably several hundred
digital-message-signing technologies out there, and they probably all have
slightly different ways of doing the signing, etc.  I don't know if you're using
S/MIME or something.  If you send a message, I'll find a pattern to create a
rule like the PGP one.
