And there is the long term solution - Develop an E-mail user interface that
automatically recognizes certain types of authentication/encryption and
automatically applys YOUR signature to outbound messages. Include a nice
GUI interface, lots of user options for defaulting to siganture vs.
encryption on outbound, etc. And have it available on many platforms.
Sounds like a good school project, after all, that's how Mosaic got started.

I think if you're looking for key stroke timing and rules for identifying a
human vs. system doing the sending then you'll probably have to modify the
program. I doubt perl would be fast enough, though I don't really know.

until someone does it.
