Hi,

I used CA.pl to generate a CA and signed a certificate for myself.
(Default openssl.cnf; OpenSSL 0.9.5 28 Feb 2000)
After importing the cert to netcape I send a signed message to myself
using the mutt email client.

First question - maybe this one is for the mutt-list:

Can mutt handle pkcs-7-conforming mails?

Well, my mutt installation can't. I received the message in two
parts, the message and the signature. I saved the signature part
and tryed to verifiy the signature with

openssl smime -verify -in smime.p7s

resulting in

Error reading S/MIME message
2108:error:2107A087:PKCS7 routines:SMIME_read_PKCS7:no content type:pk7_mime.c:215:  

Merging the content of the mail and the signature in one file and trying
to verify it resulted in

openssl smime -verify -in dummy
Error reading S/MIME message
2112:error:2107A087:PKCS7 routines:SMIME_read_PKCS7:no content type:pk7_mime.c:215:  

The man page of openssl/smime states, that there might be parsing errors
when reading S/MIME v3 structure. Is this the reason for this problem??

Thanks for any hints,

Martin
