uses to send an email.

Oh, yeah. That's just one of the many reasons that I want to be able to concentrate all my mail on Emailer, only with a couple of extra features,
like encryption and running native in OS X.

Signing and encrypting email messages
If you have a personal certificate on your computer, you can send signed messages (including the body of the message and any attachments) to anyone using Mail. Signed messages let your recipients verify your identity as the sender, and provide assurance that the message has not been tampered with in transit. A Signed icon (a checkmark) in the email header indicates your personal certificate is installed in Keychain Access.

Encrypted messages (which encrypt both the body of the message and any attachments) offer a higher level of security than just signed messages. You can only send encrypted messages when you have certificates stored on your computer for both you and all recipients of your message. The easiest way to get someone's certificate is to have them send you a signed email message. When you view a signed message, Mail automatically imports the person's certificate (or "public key") and stores it in your keychain. You'll know you have the recipient's personal certificate installed in Keychain Access if an Encrypt (closed lock) icon appears next to the Signed icon after you address a new mail message to that person.

To sign and encrypt an email message:
Choose File > New Message. In the Account pop-up menu, choose the account for which you have a personal certificate installed in your keychain. A Signed (checkmark) icon on the upper-right side above the message text indicates the message will be signed when you send it. To send the message unsigned, click the Signed icon to deselect it. An unsigned ("x") icon replaces the checkmark. Address the email. An Encrypt (closed lock) icon appears next to the Signed icon if you have a personal certificate for the recipient in your keychain and indicates the message will be encrypted when you send it. To send the message unencrypted, click the Encrypt icon to deselect it. An open lock icon replaces the closed lock icon. For security, encrypted messages are saved in your Sent mailbox in an encrypted format. If you don't have a certificate for all the recipients, a dialog appears that allows you to either cancel the delivery of the message or send the message unencrypted.

If your recipients are using Mail, security headers marked Signed and Encrypted are visible in the messages they receive. If they are using an application that doesn't use signed and encrypted messages, the certificate might be in the form of an attachment. If your recipients save the attachment as a file, they can add your certificate to their keychain.

Since many mailing lists reject signed messages (because the signature is an attachment), deselect the Signed icon before sending a message to a mailing list.
