Thanks, Jeff, for the information. Wish I had enough knowledge to help out with this. It is good to know that there are plans to implement S/MIME in the future. Now, anyone have any ideas regarding points #1 and 2 with the latest version of Evolution? I hope this is a bug that can be fixed. I don't like the thought of having to save encrypted email to a file to be manually decrypted!
