The proof, I didn't >| even know about the existence of this library :-) I'd like to code it but I work on other (open-)projects and don't have enough time :-( But before someone code it, it may be interesting to think about how we could integrate this kind of thing. BTW, there's a at least one standard for crypted/signed messages: S/MIME (which I dont know). There's four basic cases concerning encryption/signature: o sending a signed message o sending an encrypted message o testing signature of received signed message o decrypting recieved message which could be combined (sending a signed encrypted message, receiving a signed encrypted message). Some times ago, I've started thinking about how to deal with this kind of things. For example: I receive an encrypted message and decrypt it. OK Now, some people may want to keep only encrypted message (and have to decrypt it each time they want to read it). Some other people like to keep only decrypted version and may be some others want to keep the 2 versions :-) How to deal with this ? Anothers cases: o I receive a signed message. I'd like to know what is signed ('text', all message including attachements, 'text' + attachements, only some of the attachements,...). How to keep information about what was signed (and verified) ? o I send encrypted or signed message. It will be great to keep the information that message was encrypted/signed. Some people may like to keep only encrypted/signed message. Some others like to keep clear text message only and may be some other one want to keep encrypted/signed + clear text message :-) I haven't tried other mail client for a long time (yes, I really like mahogany :-). Does someone have feedback on how other mail clients handle this ?
