Dear Evolution folks, at work we started to set up S/MIME certificates because the Apple Mail and the associated devices seem to support those by default. It was very easy to set this up with Evolution (3.12.9 from Debian 8 (jessie) too). Thank you for that! Now a colleague sent an email with an S/MIME signature, but Google Mail rewrote the from header field (see X-Google-Original-From) and therefore the address in the From header field differed from the address for the S/MIME certificate the message was signed with. The signature was marked green though, so I never noticed this, until my colleagues told me, that Apple Mail shows a warning or something like it. In #evolution irc freenode net I was told, that this is the expected behavior.
the signature doesn't have much to do with the message headers, not with the From; evo shows at the very bottom who signed it.
Thinking about it, I find this strange, and actually would like to be notified if the signature address differs from the From address. Maybe I do not understand the idea behind it, so I wanted to ask again for the reasoning behind the current implementation. Thanks, Paul
