in that special case you may be lucky

and that is why i said most widely used does not

RHEL5:     openssl-0.9.8e
RHEL6:     openssl-1.0.0
Fedora 17: openssl-1.0.0k
Fedora 18: openssl-1.0.1e

if you have only a few users where you know OS and mail-client
this is doable, for any server with customers it is a no-go
