When I first started building Evo from HEAD the S/MIME stuff was new,
and was including headers which my libnss3 didn't package.  I hacked
around this by #if'ing out the relevant code.  Over the weekend I
removed all of my strange changes and rebuild, forgetting to turn off
NSS... and it worked.

I tried a build without NSS as an exercise, and got various errors in
the HTML message output, where pieces of code were not #if'd out.
