Oh, sorry. I am confusing with S/MIME and PGP/MIME myself too. They are two different things, or at least I think so. The one which I am asking about is PGP/MIME (those signature.asc files, which you might have seen). >> Example case would be verifying message from mailing list archives.

It's nicer way than telling to filter all emails from one sender / threading / telling what should be done in their opinions and then ignoring all problems in that way. I hope that someone can still answer this question. PS. Sorry again for typoing PGP/MIME as S/MIME. -- Mika Suomalainen gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 4DB53CFE82A46728 Key fingerprint = 24BC 1573 B8EE D666 D10A AA65 4DB5 3CFE 82A4 6728
