Does anybody know how can I write a plugin for Mail.app? Is it similar to
the way plugins worked with the OpenStep/NextStep Mail.app, which was
inserting bundles in some special directory?
I want to write a plugin for Mail.app so that it can use X.509
certificates to send and receive encrypted and/or digitally signed email.
It should be a standard feature of Mail, but since it's not, I'm willing
to write it and give it away for free, source code and all. This shouldn't
be too hard since Mac OS X is shipping with OpenSSL, and actually I
already have some objects that can handle the RSA crypto functions
included in the libraries. I think the X.509 part is trickier but it's
worth the effort. As with a lot of other stuff, I couldn't find any docs
for this on the developer or osx documentation. At this pint, any lead
will help...
I'm also interested in writing a plugin for ICQ on OS X, so that people
can generate a key pair and send and receive encrypted messages (maybe
even sign them). This would be a very cool feature to have that would make
ICQ on OS X better than the windoze version, and I would also give it away
for free.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
