Email signing

[Samuel Luxford-Watts]

Cool - I have a meeting later to see just how important having a pre-pended
notice of confidentiality is.

Just a quick question regarding the example code you gave earlier for
signinging clean messages. At the moment I am using a ruleset to only sign
outgoing messages. Can I call a function from a ruleset - ie. Can I use the
following in a ruleset:

From:           *@winckworths.co.uk     &SignClean

Also the SignClean code only returns a 1 or 0 based on whether a text string
is contained in the subject of the email. I need a function that will always
add one of two possible signatures depending on whether the string is
present in the subject of an email.

ie. If subject contains ..JK.. Then add Signature1 else add Signature2

Cheers,

Sam

It has turned out not to be too hard to do.
I won't implement it now, but if it causes them to start thinking about
using another product instead of MailScanner, then get back to me and I will
write it quickly for you. Don't like losing users!

If the disclaimer at the bottom of the mail is called the "signature", what
do you call the signature at the top of the mail?
