You can probably tell from the email headers, with a reasonable amount of
certainty, that this reply at least came from IBM.  I would send it with an
S/MIME digital signature, which would prove it came from me (or at least,
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) except that:
(a) mailing lists generally mess up S/MIME signatures when they forward the
mail to list members; and
(b) ibm-main specifically rejects S/MIME mail (or perhaps all mail with
attachments; I have not done a detailed experiment.)

A PGP Embedded Signature (the type where the message body has the signature
such as this message) takes care of Problem b. So long as the List Server
does not mangle/alter the message itself, Problem a also is not an issue.
