Dear developers,

thank you very much for your great work.
While trying to get S/MIME working I had to read a lot about Ägypten. Now this 
is the most rediculous way to make Kmail s/mime capable.
Why should s/mime be implemented in gpg?
My problem is that gpgsm seems to have many bugs (--import doesn't work (bus 
error) also GENKEY doesn't work (general server error))

Why not use openssl like in konquerror and in sIMAP etc?

pgp/mime is working fine, but the steps you have to pass are not beneficial to 
convince people using encryption. (On the other hand one can easily use PGP 
in traditional way so that's not that horrible)

Kmail is really what GUI users want to have except the missing encryption 
capabilities. In my opinion the Ägypten project was good for some companies 
but that horrible managed that I can't see any results besides some 
gaming/learning effects for a few people and a good money burn rate.

Sorry for that impolite expression of my opinion, but please coordinate any 
available develpment power into s/mime implementation.

Best regards,

-Harry
