The title of the tab is of course open for debate. I opted for "Aegypten 
Plugins", since "CryptPlug Plugins" sounded silly (due to the 
repetition).

The problem is that we waited for this to happen for months now. I don't 
see anyone in the KMail core team that has the knowledge about what is 
Sphinx-only and what is generic S/MIME. Now we're in the position where 
we need to release the stuff and the usability of the config dialog as 
it stands now is extremely poor. Also, the size of the config dialog 
was _waaay_ to big ;-)
