No, I said my plugin uses the S/MIME buttons to emulate GPG encryption.
And S/MIME is the secure variant of MIME (Multimedia Internet Mail

Sorry it was my mistake to tell something about S/MIME the plug-in
is PGP/MIME only and it only uses the OE S/MIME buttons to encrypt
sign messsages. The code doesn't produce any S/MIME signatures.
