> S/MIME works just fine in Thunderbird Mostly, yes, once you jump through the hoops of getting a personal certificate (let's encrypt style automation as plugin would be great!). But there appears to be some issues with adding recipient certificates that are structured in a specific way. Something about the Subject format being valid for s/mime but not recognized by mozilla's cerfificate store as an other-people certificate and as a server cert instead. This was a certificate used by a local government agency. That made it quite difficult to communicate with them securely. This is one of the few times where I really needed secure email and that's when it failed me.
