people from Verisign have implemented an library+API, Thunderbird integration and they had plans to integrate SMIMEA into Apple Mail.app
See http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dane/current/msg06963.html
I'll expect more software support coming this year.

Where might I find the Thunderbird integration stuff.
using the "ask an expert" excuse, a couple of ?
I was thinking of using the enigmail add-on for Thunderbird, but it needs GnuPGP, and the windows version seems to somewhat outdated (win32 only). Do happen to know if there is a Thunderbird/openPGP add-on? There did not seem to be when I looked.
I am not sure what I am asking for here, but I run a webdav server for my family. Do you know if there is a mechanism that would allow a webdav user to encrypt their storage. What I am looking for is some public key way of storing the data, that would allow them to publish the encryption key ...

I'm about to ask the Verisign people if they have published the code as they announced in the email. I myself had not had the time to hunt the Thunderbird integration down and test it, but it is on my todo list.
The SMIMEA and OPENPGPKEY documents are still in "draft", I'll expect the Thunderbird integration "experimental" and not for "production use" (but early adopter testing is welcome).

I'll use enigmail for Thunderbird (on MacOS X and on Linux), it works well for me. However it currently does not support the DANE drafts, just "old-style" PGP web-of-trust.
I know some people using GPG on Windows via GPG4WIN -> http://gpg4win.org/

No, but there is a milter for Postfix and Sendmail that can auto-encrypt all mail that has a PGP/GPG key published in DNS --> https://github.com/letoams/openpgpkey-milter
It requires a local mail-server, either in the local network or the "old Unix style" way on every machine.

Not my area of expertise, sorry.

I just installed Enigmail with gpg4win and it works, sort of! Problem is that lots of other things stop working, for instance trying to open an account to view or alter a setting produces a list of invalid accounts, some menus stop working.
I have disabled it but I am still having problems. /one moment please!!!/ I removed it and restarted, seems to have solved the problems.
