I would be nice if `Discourse` will support secure mail using PGP/GPG keys or SMIME certificate for both `reply` as well as `post`.

This is unlikely. Email is never secure. We do have a more practical setting which prevents any site content from being sent via email, though — email turns into generic notifications to visit the website.
