Patrick,
Working for IBM I'm a bit wary of the disclaimer at the bottom of the e-mail. In order to avoid
encroaching IBM's standards on the community (we use Notes and its pretty ugly) I just use my
private e-mail account. Is that an option for the BEA folks ? Since this activity is not really
Corporate sponsored or controlled a personal account makes a lot of sense.

Can you fix your mailer to get rid of this?
Sadly, not really. BEA slaps that text on the end of all outgoing
messages, and the way that I'm using email these days, sending OpenJPA
mail to my personal account would mean that I'd not see the mail in the
rest of my workflow.
I'm trying to find out why BEA deems it so important to a) add that
notice, and thereby b) circumvent digital signatures. But my guess is
that the decision comes from some corner of bureacracy that is probably
immune to reason.
In order to avoid foisting crap like this (and other things that Outlook
does to email) on the ocmmunity, I do all my personal and open source
mail using Thunderbird rather than Outlook, the Intel corporate client. :)
