[patch] gpgme based crypto



Hi!

We have released a new patch to use GPGME along with mutt.  This gpgme
based crypto code has the advantage of a closer coupling to the crypto
backend and it will get more information back to the user.

If the gnupg 1.9.x is installed in addition to the standard gpg,
S/MIME is supported in a way very similar to PGP (e.g. there is a 'c'
key in the S/MIME key selection dialog).

After applying the patch you need to add the option "--enable-gpgme"
to the configure invocation.  To enable the use of GPGME at runtime,
the following line has to be added to the Mutt configuration file:

   set crypt_use_gpgme

if this is not set, the standard PGP and S/MIME code is used.

The patch is available at

Shalom-Salam,
