WAKE UP CALL # 1

First of all, our industry may very well NOT USE SMTP, but rather HTTP!

WAKE UP CALL # 2

Secondly in a message queing EDI network like the one you are proposing
based on SMTP, the identifier may well be the trading partner # which might
be the ISO ASN.1 WTO code, much like what STEP has decided to use.  It
brakes down a lot of international barriers.

There is no reason to expect that the signature has any relationship with
the mail header.  This is part of the reason why I have argued with the
S/MIME people that the signature must be hidable in the secure envelope.
Which they cannot do.
