Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.11+cvs20060126-1
Followup-For: Bug #315319

mutt doesn't work correctly after changing to

set smime_encrypt_command="openssl smime -encrypt %a -outform DER -in %f %c"

The openssl-manpage definitely quotes, that the encryption-type which is given
via %a should be -des3 e.g. for Triple-DES. But mutt only outputs 'des' for %a.
So with the above encrypt_command smime-encryption doesn't work anymore.

The former line with -%a was correct and worked like a charm.

Maybe Chris Adams had set

set smime_encrypt_with='-des3'

in his muttrc. This unfortunately is wrong. You can change the algorithm-family
within mutt using Sw in the sending-screen. If you choose triple-des from that
menu only 'des' is set, which consequently doesn't work anymore, as the minus
(-) in the command is missing.

So the original bugreport was wrong, unless I missed something elementary.
