I gave it a try. I installed dirmngr-0.9.0, libassuan-0.6.9,
libgpg-error-1.0, pinentry-0.7.1, gnupg-1.9.15, gpgme-1.0.2, libgcrypt-1.2.1,
and libksba-0.9.10. Then I built mutt (current CVS) with --enable-gpgme.
But I soon got stuck due to insufficient documentation:
* I eventually managed to make gpgsm import my certificates. `gpgsm --import'
is not documented in the info file, but I guessed it due to the analogy to
`gpgsm --export' (which is documented).
* But I cannot find a way to import my private keys. How am I supposed to do
this? I have the keys (+ corresponding cert) in a pkcs#12 file.
* I have a mail with valid S/MIME signature in my INBOX. When I open mutt
prints in the status line `S/MINE signature successfully verified.' But in
the viewer I read:
[-- Begin signature information --]
Error checking signature
[-- End signature information --]
How can I find out where this spurious error message comes from?
The documentation I found at www.gnupg.org seems to more or less ignore
S/MIME.
