The usefulness of PGP and S/MIME in combination with a web mail client 
is highly doubtful since you need to transmit your private key across 
the net to the OGo server, something you probably don't want to do.

We have recently integrated the SecSigner applet in some other project 
and consider adding that to OGo as well. The applet does the actual 
encryption on the client (using a smartcard).

Summary: status isn't much better, status can't be much better due to 
webmail limitations and status will be better nevertheless.
