Convolution Integral

Dear Mathgroup,

Could anyone please help me with the following?

 I'd like to find the convolution of 2 arbitrary
functions, f(t) and g(t) in the Laplace transform
sense,i.e., 

convolve[f[t],g[t]]=Integrate[f[u]*g[t-u],{u,0,t}]

Thus, I'd like convolve[Sin[t],Exp[-t]] to return

   (Exp[-t]-Cos[t]+Sin[t])/2 .

My several attempts with function definitions such as

  convolve[f_,g_]:=Integrate[f[u]*g[t-u],{u,0,t}]

 
convolve[f[t_],g[t_]]:=Integrate[f[u]*g[t-u],{u,0,t}]

  convolve[f_,g_][t_]:=Integrate[f[u]*g[t-u],{u,0,t}]

all failed (because of the dummy u ? )

Thanks in advance.
Sen.
