* Create help for explaining how encrypted password file support
works.
* When a message is sent encrypted, add the sender certificate so that
the sender can decrypt it too.
* When a message is signed and encrypted, first sign it and then encrypt
it. This changes the usual order of encrypting and then signing, and it has
the shortcoming of making bigger messages. However, this is the way that
most clients work with S/MIME, and so for compatibility with other programs,
we will send signed, then encrypted, instead of encrypted, then signed.
Hmm... should we sign the encrypted part?
* Avoid the first RSET smtp command, as this causes delays in some evily
managed servers.
