Oh, that's good to know. For me "classic mode" sounded like something to
avoid but in hindsight "it is better tested" should have been a hint to
me to not switch to gpgme (which I did a couple of months ago due to
some problems with classic mode).

Thank you!

What are the overall plans with respect to s/mime? Will "classic mode"
be the future or gpgme? Should I invest more time to optimise and
improve classic mode instead of gpgme?


Best,
Robert
