After sending this I realized that all I did was babble and get no real point across. I'll try again. It would be nice if the signed and/or encrypted portions of the message were contained within a frame (the gtk frame widget not the html frame) with the text title of the frame containing the signers name (comment) <email_address company com>. These signed frames would be inlined with the rest of the email but since it is framed it is very easy for the readers to distiguish which portion of the message is signed and which one isn't. Since HTML has no native way to doing frame widgets it becomes very difficult for html messages to forge that. For added security, a person could click on the frames title and have a popup dialog show up which contains the signers info in more detail or something like that. Hopefully this made more sense this time :) On 28 Feb 2001 22:59:26 -0500, Sejal Patel wrote:
Ok so let me ask this. It would really be cool if you could use a frame and the title of the frame has the person's name in it and that clicking on the name part of the frame pulls up the signature information. It becomes very difficult to duplicate in html because html does not have a way to do frames (when I say frames I'm referring to the gtk frame widget) and for added authenticity, the user has the option of clicking on the frame title to create a popup box that has the signature specifics in it.
