[imp] S/MIME and centrally stored Certs

IMP currently requires that users upload their personal certs to use  
the S/MIME functionality in IMP. There are some obvious concerns with  
all the certs stored on one central server.

One idea we had here was using javascript to actually process the S/ 
MIME message locally in the browser. I'm not sure javascript would  
have the functionally to access a locally stored cert, that would be  
up the browser implementation, but I'm wondering if any kind of  
client-side solution has been explored.
