Hi there, I know that it doesn't belong to this group, but maybe someone can
help.

I'm signing a message with Microsoft's CryptoApi 2.0, and there it's stated
that the message will be PKCS 7 encrypted (if I got it right PKCS 7 =
S/MIME); but what I get is:

<signed-hash><message><user_certificate>, and it's all in binary form, but
with a constant width (like MIME, but still binary, not text).

Now, there are two problems:

1. how to make an SMIME message out of it, preferably with CryptoAPI
2. or: why isn't it MIME encoded?!

then I went to see what's microsoft doing when signing an email (SMIME), and
their format is (I guess):

<mime_part> <message> </mime_part> <mime_new_part> <signed_hash>
<user_certificate> </mime_new_part>

which "slightly" differs from the stuff that their promised-to-be-pkcs7
cryptoApi does.

Does anyone have any ideas or experiance in this field... help, please! :)
