W O W lots of code in there. I’m just a bit surprised there is not more common 
code in unsigned.json.rb, pubkey.json.rb, incomplete.json.rb. I thought there 
would be more in message.rb that could be reused more easily. I’m a big fan of 
DRY. ;-)

Not I. Never saw any mail from more than one address.

Certainly not easy to just add a bit of logic. I tried that. :(

Looks good so far. 

Do you have a schedule for the rest of the doc types so we can get rid of 
duplicate handling of the incoming mails?

Thanks!
