That's where thre DSig/look-up/analysis comes in. A machine can probably 
take a look at the headers and make a pretty good guess as to whether e-mail 
is genuine or phishing? And yes, a side panel is well on target - the 
project plan calls it a metadata visualiser but we'll work out a better name
