Quoting Edward Burr <egb...@burr.cc>:

I am receiving email from a friend who uses Lotus Notes and is signing his emails. After much effort, I finally figured out how to extract the certificate from the smime.p7s file and import it into imp (since you can't just import the smime.p7s file directly). Now I am able to encrypt email to him, and imp successfully decrypts email from him (getting a key and sending him my public key was simple compared to importing the smime.p7s cert).

However, one thing I have not been able to figure out yet: I can not find any indication whether the signed email from him is valid or not. The only way I know it is signed is because of the attached smime.p7s file, but imp gives no hint that it has actually checked whether the message and signature has been checked. For an encrypted message, I figure I can safely assume it is intact, but what about an unencrypted message?

S/MIME signed messages will have a border around the signed content in the message view with a yellow info box that says "The data in this part has been digitally signed via S/MIME." and will have a link to verify the data.

if you are not seeing this then your system either doesn't have support for openssl in PHP or it is disabled in the Horde/IMP configuration. (FYI: your message to the list, that I am replying to, is S/MIME signed and I can verify the signature).
