That's odd — that's one of the few things Outlook normally gets right. Is it an artefact of the footer that the list adds, complicating the MIME structure? Anything outside the most basic MIME structure is one of the *many* things that Outlook and Exchange usually get catastrophically wrong :) You should receive two copies of *this* mail... does the direct one work as expected? (That's the use case for any kind of email from banking systems, anyway.) Yes, it's not a simple solution for the declining number¹ of webmail users. I understand there are browser plugins which offer S/MIME support for at least GMail, which is the largest webmail user base — but that's still a bit different from "it just works" as you get with a real MUA. > Mail.app (version 7.3) on my Mac does understand that David has a > signature, but I have a big warning across the top of the mail that > the signature can't be verified due to an email address mismatch. > Granted, that's an artifact of the mailing list, but even still, > here's a live case where S/MIME has an issue - and I'm sure that David > and anyone else using a client that supports S/MIME will see the same > warning about mail on this list from me. Using Evolution, the GNOME mail client, I see that the mail has a valid signature from Paul Rock <[email protected]>. I am left to cross-check that address against the address in the From: header, should I desire to do so. I may file a bug suggesting that the UI should make that mismatch clearer. -- dwmw2 ¹ https://litmus.com/blog/email-client-market-share-where-people-opened-in-2013 suggests that the figure is now around 20%.
