Description

One of the nice features of SILC is that you can sign messages using your SILC keypair. In irssi, you an enable this with 

/set sign_channel_messages on

Then clients which have gotten your public key can verify that the message hasn't been altered and that it was sent from a client possessing a particular key.

I depend on this feature for certain uses of SILC, and cannot currently use Colloquy in those cases. I'd like to be able to, however.
