Hi Andreas,

- User viewable tagging (subject extension) for incoming
signed/encrypted mail
( Sometimes it is really useful if the user is able to check)
If I understand you, you want to add some sort of banner to the message
containing the security information? something similar to what's added
to the headers but now visible for the end-user?

Yes , this should be a easy work around to see if the message was
signed/encrypted before it reached the gateway. No Outlook user willl
every read e-mail headers :-(

What might be problematic is that a banner can be easily spoofed. Any
djigzo-* header is removed when the email enters Djigzo. Therefore the
security headers cannot be spoofed. With a security banner (a text or
HTML text part) it's nearly impossible to detect whether the banner is
spoofed. So, the banner should only be viewed as informational.

I would suggest to alter the subject with added Tag like "[WAS CRYPTED]" at the end similar to triggered encryption when sending, and the Tag should be unconditionally removed at first incoming stage to prevent spoofing.

No problem, i will try to get involved at Thunderbird etc. to see if
there is some work in progress on the crypto part. Maybe there will be
a chance to throw it in :-)

Yes that would be nice to see whether Thunderbird supports it. Perhaps
TrustedBird (a security enhanced Thunderbird) already supports this?

Will have a look what others have to say according this...

Many Thanks

Andreas
