I'll  give it a try later - but I still have the question of how to 
actually invoke that code?  As far as I can tell, it would be run prior 
to posting an article which has an attachment that gets signed, but I 
have not found any way to attach anything to a post. I do have gpg keys, 
but I also haven't found a way to confirm that Pan knows about them.
