If i recall correctly Melnikov made a draft how the ACME stuff could be extended to S/MIME, but it never left draft state. I do not listen to the according IETF working groups, ... Wait, it is still an active draft, version 6, last updated this year July: [1] Unfortunately it wants DKIM/SPF/DMARC and a single MIME message body, which counteracts my desire to vanquish that in favour of a nice CMS thing that puts list addresses in From:, or so. Sigh.
