Please start your debate in another thread. S/MIME and PKI are a supported part on the NSS feature set, and supported in pretty much every email client available. Paul spent time writing about how they can set up encrypted email using existing products. Slamming S/MIME as the first response to his post could feel like an attack on him.IM[NS]HO, S/MIME encryption using PKI is one of the biggest securityfarces ever. Even the use-case is often wrong.
You have a perfect right to express your views and the reasons for them, but that was not what Paul was asking for in this thread. Please keep your responses appropriate to the question (improvements to Paul's document). Debates on improvements to email security in general are appropriate in this news group (That is, your post itself is appropriate for this news group-- it just needs to be on a different thread).
Let's encourage the this kind of activity in our community. We all know documentation is the area we need the most help in.
Thanks. bobP.S. Paul, thank you for putting this together. I've only skimmed it, but it looks like a pretty good primer on setting up S/MIME encryption.
