I think the biggest use of SMIME is within the enterprise as Exchange/Outlook integrate it quite tightly. I don't see the support of gpg would be that hard as evolution/eds already support it, it would just be a matter of ensuring the support in maemo. You would also need some sort of key management application to be ported too. As far as jabber support goes, I thought the jabber protocol used SSL/TLS as oppsed to gpg to secure the communications as its more designed for encryption of data streams on the fly over network connections where as gpg is more a file encryption style of tool. I think SSL is supported straight up on the jabber side of things. Pete
