Hi Steve, Richard, OK, the file is attached. The file modified was from openssl-0.9.8-beta6\apps\smime.c
It is just a simple hack to make it do a double pass over the file to do both operations in the one call - sorry but I used a "goto" :-). My user likes it much better this way because they have to call "smime ..." (or "openssl smime ...") from their application and the double call (for sign then encrypt) is high overhead. They always do both sign/encrypt and decrypt/verify. All existing functionality is unchanged. I have tested it for both sign/encrypt and decrypt/verify and it works OK for me. Regards, Simon McMahon.
