We *did* open the link. Just because the project is trying to implement
S/MIME for OpenSource clients doesn't mean that it would work well in
Evolution, that is all that was meant.

If the S/MIME code was being written in c++ for example, we wouldn't be
able to use it since Evolution is not written in c++.

If the license wasn't GPL, we wouldn't be able to use it (Open Source
does not necessarily mean GPL).

If the APIs were custom designed for Mutt, it'd be very difficult for us
to use it since we do not use Mutt's mail API.

PS: it seems KMail does not properly encode Subject headers. You might
want to report a bug. They should specifically note rfc2047 Section 5.2
and according to rfc822, Subject does not allow 'ctext'.
