Dont have a good enough grip on the code to offer any properly considered 
approaches yet, but how does posting via SSL with a user certificate for 
authentication work? . Havent tried it yet, but the doco and code both 
imply that a message posted from an SSL login with a cert is considered as 
properly authenticated ?. Or is it broken too ?
