Description

There is an existing discussion on an old tracker ... https://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=2538

A lot of work seems to be done on PGP support in the https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/milestones/PGP/MIME milestone.
Hope this issue helps to track S/MIME support. I would like to easily verify both PGP and S/MIME signatures.

A few related issues:

  • #916
  • #571
