Taking an existing MIME body and wrapping that into some kind of

what you call "RFC 2822-level signatures."
And unwrapping?
You actually read my message?
First, see Ned Freed's message about UA's vs. Multipart/signed.
Second, I meant what I wrote: just because it's easy to encapsulate
a message doesn't mean that the reverse operation is equally
trivial. I for one would not want to contemplate writing that
unwrapping function with the Bourne shell.
