Several e-mail clients display a unique inbox icon for messages that are digitally signed. In my work with PKI, I feel that users appreciate this feature, as it allows them to quickly, visually, identify "legitimate" messages. I have not found this feature in either Mozilla Mail or Thunderbird.
1. Does this feature exist, and I have missed it? 2. Is there an existing development effort toward this? 3. What input for (or against) such an effort from the community?

Doug, I think this is a great idea, an enhancement request to the mail client software (not to NSS). I don't think such a feature now exists in mozilla, and perhaps it has never been requested.
It has, over two years ago, by yours truly :-) http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108767
I reviewed the above link. We seem to be thinking on similar lines. Using your idea of a filter, I was able to use Thunderbird 0.7.3 to klunge something together:
Within Tools / Message Filters, I had previously used the "Customize" feature to create a new type for "Content-Type". This allows you to build a filter that looks in the message header for "multipart/signed", and "signature". It can then be moved to a folder or marked. The problem is that this does not check that the signature is valid.
Do you know why your original suggestion was not implemented? Is it just a case of someone volunteering to work the problem?
