Well, better even: full signing support, for all kinds of encryption
and signatures.

I would say the interface would be something like:
  if($msg->isAuthentic)
  $msg->sign(pgp => ...)

isAuthentic could return:
  true:     sure to be correct
  false:    sure to be incorrect
  undef:    not verifyable

Just like Mail::Message::Construct, a Mail::Message::Signing set of
modules could be constructed.

  sub isAuthentic(@)   # in Mail::Message(::Signing)
  {   my ($self, %args) = @_;
      if($self->head->get('PGP-...'))
      {    return $pgp->check($self->body->decoded, ....)
      }
      ...

      undef;
  }

Well, feel invited to contribute ;-)  I will provide the finishing touch,
as long as there is code, docs, and tests.
