You might like to take a look at
http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/
which adds pgp support to Mail.app
The API to Mail.app is private, but you can get around that with a nifty
utility called class-dump. I think it's on Softrak... Anyways, it will
just look at an executable and print out the interfaces and methods of
all the objects. With a little guesswork, it can be very useful! :-)

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.
