Erm, why not just use an OpenPGP implementation (GnuPG)? I can actually
verify that, you know... (not to mention the fact that having a
signature equal to the size of the whole post is bad form, and that's
equally true if we're not talking .sig here!)

And IDEA is full of patent problems, anyway, which makes it even less
useful. If the people you're sending to aren't going to be able to
verify it, anyway, why bother signing it?
