Talk:S/MIME

message: What it is ??? Secure transport or secure storage or both ?? For me secure storage storage is bad (no search and indexing).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.193.205.189 (talk) 08:53, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  I don't think there is any connection. It began life simply as Secure MIME. It appears as S-MIME in some early emails. The reason for the separator is to stop it reading smime which sounds like slime. --Gorgonzilla 15:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

text: It's simply S as in SSL Secure Sockets Layer or similar and TLS Transport Layer Security plus MIME Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. -- Omniplex 21:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I would think, that this link shouldn't be in the article, because it leads to an article with the same name but much smaller (tiny). Why people should loose their time going there? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dinno (talk • contribs) 00:40, 17 April 2006  (UTC)
: Agreed. The CryptoDox guy has spammed Wikipedia with lots of links to articles on his site, none of which, as far as I recall, have been anything that but poor in comparison to the corresponding Wikipedia article. If it's better, then fine, it's reasonable to include it. Not until then, however. — Matt Crypto 16:14, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  CryptoDox - S/MIME link 

message: The text should read "... functionality is availible in the ..." rather than "... functionality is built into the ...", as "built into" implies that S/MIME is provided with no modifications; this is not the case for some of these listed mail clients.  Any objections?

message: Someone has removed the external links that point to free and paid for Certificates but has left this in the body of the article.
"or from a public CA such as one of those listed below" Just think that it should be reworded to take the lack of CA's that are now no longer available.

replies: text: Good catch.  While Wikipedia is not a directory, it is acceptable to give a link to the appropriate dmoz directory category, which I have done.  Wrs1864 16:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  External Links 

message: I do not think all versions of OE have the mentioned bug. The comment should be limited to the appropriate versions (if at all present).

thread_title:  Outlook Express 

message: I removed the Email Encryption link from the "See Also" section as the link was a dead-end and E-mail encryption is simply redirected to Pretty Good Privacy which is already in the "See Also" section.  Perhaps a generic E-mail Encryption page needs to be created as both PGP and S/MIME are valid E-mail Encryption techniques.

thread_title:  Help needed in adding citations 

message: Between two editors, there is a dispute whether the "Free S/MIME certificate issuers" section in the article is against Wikipedia's policies on notability and inclusion, or valuable to the reader.  15:02, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should "Free S/MIME certificate issuers" belong to the article? 

message: Proof? Citation? Does this rating need to be part of the list Issuer List? It's an additional attribute and should be explained or listed somewhere else.LS (talk) 08:10, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
