quite, and i'm seeing a lot of folks using the new PGP/MIME format. i
expect that these numbers will only increase.
as far as "not many email clients support S/MIME", it depends on how you
hash the numbers. the fact is that Outlook/OE does, and by some metrics,
that means that 90% of the clients in current use support it.

i agree. i understand Mark's argument, but he's failed to persuade me that
i want to spend my time on it, which is a personal decision on my part.
i've been after the S/MIME from day one, and it's where i hope to
contribute to Mahogany's development.
