How about using a little nice PGP or S/MIME signature :-)
I was sure that sooner or later it was going to happen.
I know that some people does not like it because it adds some lines to e-mail messages (I myself have received hate e-mails sometimes...) but the overhead is negligible and the efect is that everybody knows that it is going to be much (orders of magnitude) difficult to impersonate you.begin:vcard n:Galan Moreno;Manuel x-mozilla-html:TRUE org:E.T.S. de Arquitectura (ULPGC);Matematicas adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:manolow@step.es x-mozilla-cpt:;1056 fn:Manuel Galan Moreno end:vcard
