You only want to attach the patch :)

The problem is that openssl does some magic things.

mail --> internet 7 --> iana 7 --> dod 1 7 --> org 6 1 7 --> iso 3 6 1 7
--> 1.3.6.1.7

So let's start searching for this attribute but it is not an attribute.
It is a hole subtree (http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/1.3.6.1.7.html).
Nevertheless the subtree is not part of objects.txt or any other file of
OpenSSL so it is not a problem to change the name because "mail" or
"Mail" was never used a reference.

So we can change the name of internet 7 without any problems. I would
like a name like "internt_mail" or "internetMail". What do you think?

Best Regards,

Michael
