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.
Yes, I know it's possible to filter on headers, but that's not sufficient for what we want.
Do you know why your original suggestion was not implemented? Is it just a case of someone volunteering to work the problem?
At the time, Netscape/AOL still had paid developers working on Mozilla/mail, but this feature was never considered a priority by management. And nobody else wanted to contribute this.
I don't know who works on Mozilla mail filters today. You might want to try to find out and bring it to their attention - at least cc them. It's been 8 years since I last wrote GUI code, so it's unlikely I would be able to contribute the patch even if I had time. I could assist in helping with whatever NSS calls you need to make, but I think most of the calls are already in there in the S/MIME message signature check / decrypt . It's a matter of taking that code over to filters.
