Dear sogo mailinglist,I have developed a smime plugin for firefox which allows to read smime signed and crypted mails in the webmail interface of sogo. It works fine for me but has certain limitations which up to now prevented me from publishing it. Up to now I'm able to read smime end to end encrypted mail by using the webmail interface. What is still missing is the possibility to compose encrypted mails and the possibility to download any encrypted email attachments.
The plugin enables users of sogo to read their encrypted emails in their browser without the need to save their encryption key on the mail server.
Nearly exactly one year ago I was asking this mailing list if there is some interest in making this working and useful for all sogo users. ( see: https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists/arc/users/2012-07/msg00167.html). The current implementation does no longer use the firefox cert store but the windows/Linux system certificate storage and does not longer require the user to have a perl installation.
Up to now I have not received any feedback.Perhaps it now is of greater interest since the revielings of Edward Snowden showed how limited the security of email is without using end to end encryption.
If there is any interest I could explain in a more detailed form what and how the plugin does what it does and what functions sogo is missing to make the plugin even more useful.
Best regards, David Feurle
