Mailnews. A few months ago, I posted to these groups about PGP integration in Mozilla, but I tried to be protocol-independant, so most of it would be applicable for you, too. I think, it gives a good overview over the things to do. Feel free to followup to that thread. > - are there already empty stubs or a "message handling plugin > architecture" > which I should use? Yes. libmime is the MIME handler and parses Mailnews msg bodies. It has stubs for signed/encrypted msgs, as you can see if you read such a msg in Mozilla (you'll see a notice in the body). As this code has been migrated from 4.x, there are MACRO references in the form of L_XXXX, where XXXX is alphanum., which I believe hook up to crypto code, which was never reactivated. If you ask nicely, maybe Netscape release it now. Dunno, if it would be useful. BTW: IIRC, you can see similar references is several parts of the Mozilla, but I don't remember where else. Adding .mail-news to ccs.
