You know, I asked that very same questions a couple of months ago with

Certainly the top tier mail clients do not.


I tested a couple of well known clients and not only did they not support it
they gave misleading error messages.

I'd expect something like "unsupported content type" instead one said it
couldn't find the correct private key the other said it had an unexpected
problem and I should check for low memory or disk space.
