Thanks for the clarification. Looks like I was wrong when I thought the
email app is signed by platform key. I actually don't want to use my own
key to sign the app, just leave it using the release/testkey key.

I have tried again using the seinfo=release with my specific domain for
email app:

user=_app name=com.android.email seinfo=release domain=email_app
type=email_app_data_file

Now the email app in my nexus 7 is assigned using my domain, instead of the
general release_app domain.

BTW, I am just curious why not provide fine-grained domain for each app.
Are the current platform_app, release_app domains too coarse-grained?

Thank you very much! Have a nice day!

Looking forward to your reply
