MDPGP
Would be cool to have MDS/MIME like MDPGP with the same functions.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your idea with us to incorporate SMIME functionality into MDaemon. At this time we do not have plans to add this functionality. We believe implementing SMIME in MDaemon will suffer from the same issues that PGP suffers from. Most users that use PGP want end to end encryption (which is currently possible using a third party email client), if MDaemon is doing the encrypting and decrypting for you, it is not end to end. The users that are not concerned with it being end to end encryption, want something that is simple to deal with and doesn't take much work. Even though we have implemented features to make key/certificate exchanges easier, in many cases it is still a manual process, which the users do not like.
Thank you,
Arron

Hello Aron,
I agree with you technically. Sadly PGP/MIME *always* adds a file named "signature.asc". As many mail clients show this as a normal attachment, our clients and suppliers give us a call, asking what to do with this file. So how could we start signing emails without customers/clients constantly hassling us about that file?
