Hi Angles, et al,

As I mentioned to jengo earlier, I have PGP working in HORDE/IMP and I've
started on S/MIME (about 25% done).  We have had to do a bit of a major
re-write to the HORDE/IMP code to get that going, mostly because it was
fairly badly written to start with, but my first look at the e-mail client
in phpgroupware seems to indicate that it would be much easier to port
it to phpgroupware.

The main issues with HORDE/IMP were the proliferation of top level functions
to do anything, the lack of object oriented design (not a problem in phpgw),
and the fact that it didn't handle MIME all that well.  For example, it can't
handle a MIME body inside another MIME body, which is required for any
signed mail.

Where would PGP and/or S/MIME capability fit into the above priority list?
Just so I know when to start porting and submitting patches.  I'm not a
phpgw developer yet so I will have to use the patch mechanism to get code
in.

I'd like to hold off on submitting any patches until I get the S/MIME
code working, so it's at least a month or so away yet.
