Hello,
Since the email handling in SailfishOS is open source and since some versions, the email client exposes its proprietary QML files for patching, I've decided to try to implement the GPG signing capabilities into the client. Everything is visible in the Mer Gitlab. The job was quite long (started last spring), or I am too slow, but it is possible now to sign mails and verify received signatures.

I wish to apply for the contest in the Fixing/Updating category. Most of the code for signing was written and debugged in January while the code for verification was done last June.

• Project name: GPG in email application
• Author: Damien Caliste
• Brief description: add signing capability to the native email client.
• Category: Fixing/Updating
• Features/work to be judged: addition of GPG framework into SailfishOS, specifically in QMF (email backend), Nemo QML plugin for email, creation of a new Nemo QML plugin to create a QML GPG agent.
• Package name and where to find the app/repository: everything is distributed in the sign branches of the involved Mer project in Gitlab. The details of the work done and how to use it is available in this Gitlab issue (see last post of today).

I know the project is not ready yet for end-user because I had no time to finish it before the dead-line, but I would like to participate anyway, and I will continue to work on this and try to push modifications upstream.
