Only if the sender signed it. I presume the system does that anyway so you can be sure who sent something.
It could be sent plaintext as long as the senders signature was intact.
That's a good idea. Send message > Message signed and sent > Receiver opens message, signature bits are hidden, but clicking report sends plaintext with signature included. Only ends up in report queue if signature is valid.
