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 :-)

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?
