Hi - I'm having problems reading S/MIME signed e-mail with
attachments when I get the mail through the UW imap daemon.
The server is a SuSE 9.0 machine running imap-2002d-55.
The client is a Mac OS 10.3 running Thunderbird 0.8.  By
default I get the ? signature because the MIME parts aren't
downloaded.  When I change the Thunderbird preferences
(undocumented mail.server.default.mime_parts_on_demand
and mail.imap.mime_parts_on_demand, set both to false)
I can get it to download all the MIME parts
automatically, but then I get the broken signature icon
(message content doesn't match signature).  When I do the
same through a different IMAP server (don't know what kind -
whatever speakeasy.net uses) it shows a valid signature.
I.e. I suspect that the UW imap server must be modifying
the message in the process of disentangling the MIME parts.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  Is there a known solution?

                                        thanks,
                                        Noam Bernstein
