Thanks very much timotheus. I haven't yet heard of EPG and will make a
note to read up on it. I am extremely pleased that we'll be able to
provide S/MIME support in the future. In the meantime, would you be
kind enough to report your request and code to SourceForge so that we
can track it?

There is certainly no harm in making it aware of EPG, if it is
available. MH-E has quite a bit of precedent of being able to handle
packages if they are installed, but otherwise ignore them. I'm
assuming furthermore that EPG is free and there won't be any problem
referring to it in MH-E. Yes? However, I agree that MH-E should not
use send EPG by default until it is installed in Emacs.
