That would require fixing

I think Evolution is missing better integration with gnome-keyring /
Seahorse for that. Some developer please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks very much for that andre. Now at least there is somewhere I can pay attention to for progress updates. Or given the original bug date, lack thereof. The new contacts app maybe offers some promise, if it gets the ability to store public keys for contacts, evolution might have a springboard for the kind of functionality I - and apparently very few others - hope for.
