I'm trying to create a signed message in the Windows client, version 1.8. I've been messing around in the console with the signmessage() command but I can't figure out the correct syntax to supply the required arguments, the address and message, etc.

Can somebody help me out with this?

You should be able to right-click an address in the address list and choose it to sign a message.

However, from the console, the syntax is:

signmessage(address, message)

EX:

>> signmessage('1KhvPPsXpCLsRtZsBMJdzu5tA8i8WTKHAL', 'Test')
"G2ELam2oLGWoSOfyENpfH+vjZCom4yz1FsO6Ed2KQJaCE+nQGIrVQG8xms7WqOr+e07k4kgu5moWE4fM/Q4qfP4="

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I was confused because that option is under the receiving tab and not the sending tab.
