Okay, but please understand the issue here.....a digital signature is not an 
encrypted piece of intelligence.  In a very real sense, the digital signature 
is no different than if you were able to hand sign a message before sending 
it.
It -=IS=- a way of authenticating the sender of the message, nothing more.
Granted, if a message, or any part of it were encrypted, then we'd be dealing 
with a whole different issue, and one that would not be so pleasantly offered 
for discussion.  Encryption of public messages is forbidden.  Period.
But digital signatures?  The jury is out...........
