I think the manual misses more about how to get S/MIME up and running in the first place. I've been looking through both the Gnus and Message manuals and smime.el to learn what I know today. What I'm preparing at the moment is a chapter for a danish tutorial on how to get Gnus working with the danish CA Kommunedata. Maybe I could easily turn this into a more general description for the manual or a howto -- althogh my spare time is limited. > Ideally we should use the Aegypten S/MIME stuff instead, once it > matures. Never heard of it. Maybe I'll take a look at it some other day. /arne -- stud. scient.
