What does "know that a message came from a designated source" mean?

One interpretation is that the recipient knows that the sender sent
this particular instance of the message to him.  To make this
happen, one would probably want to sign

   (message-id, message-hash, envelope sender, envelope recipient)

tuples (maybe with RFC2822.from instead of SMTP.mailfrom)

You can't include the envelope recipient address in the signature because
it is lost when the message passes through a forwarder.
