[VM] SMIME & msmtp integration?

[Bill Meahan]

Anyone have hints/lisp code for handling SMIME & msmtp from VM (I
imagine vm-pcrisis is an important part of the latter)

I have multiple email accounts (about 6) which I use for different
purposes. I have X.509 certificates for each of them (gpg is NOT an
option). I currently use Thunderbird but I would _like_ to switch VM.

Despite 50 years of computer/development experience I can't seem to get
my mind wrapped around elisp so I could sure use some help.

No. I'm not a COBOL/RPG weenie - never written a line of that.

TIA

That is great! Welcome to VM.

The best way for you to get started would be to download the latest
revision of the trunk from here

https://code.launchpad.net/~vm/vm/trunk

and set up your VM to use the Thunderbird directory. Then you can use both
VM and Thunderbird on the same mail folders. However, don't try to modify
the same folder from both the tools at the same time! There are people here
that have experience with Thunderbird inter-operation. I use VM &
Thunderbird for IMAP folders, which are safe for concurrent access.

VM hasn't had SMIME support traditionally, but Arik Mitschang recently
contributed SMIME support. I just merged it into the trunk. You can try it
out and tell us how it works. Please send bug reports to
viewmail-***@nongnu.org (or use M-x vm-submit-bug-report).

VM works fine with MSMTP. But, how to set up vm-pcrisis to use it, I am not
sure. Has anybody tried it?
