  That opens it right up. Pleased to be wrong in my suspicion. I see that it's possible to configure Mutt [1] and Gnus [2] with SMIME. Perhaps 2023 will finally be the year of encrypted email.

    I wouldn't get too excited. This only seems to be the addition of S/MIME client capability for Google corporate email customers. So the Google corporate customer will still have to procure, renew and pay for a S/MIME certificate for each and every employee. That isn't something that companies have shown much interest in up to this point. This does not affect non-corporate Gmail users...

    This is also cool because unlike a lot of other end to end systems you don't have to trust the client they provided you with.
