 As you probably know, this would be great :-) Anyhow, I don't even think
of implementing S/MIME support myself (nor really PGP/GPG currently) as
it can only results in a disaster without understanding the issues related
to it which I lack.

 I'll try to have a peek at it, thanks.

 Even without certificates (i.e. PGP) there are still a lot of issues...
