Well, this RFC probably counts as "prior art" 20 years ago:
0989 Privacy enhancement for Internet electronic mail: Part I: Message
encipherment and authentication procedures. J. Linn. February 1987.
(Format: TXT=63934 bytes) (Obsoleted by RFC1040, RFC1113) (Status:
UNKNOWN
The *real* problem is that digital signatures for E-mail work in *exactly
the same way* and provide *the same protection* as SSL does for the Web.
Yes, that's the problem, not the solution statement.
