Hey Steve, When I create a mime message with mutt then pass it to openssl, the mime message created in mutt contains date, to, from, and subject...but isn't s/mime supposed to contain that? If I create a mime message with all the header information then sign that mime message with S/MIME with all the header information will this cause a problem on some systems? Or should it be ok?! Maybe there is an easier way to generate S/MIME messages with attachments?!

So that's perfectly normal: if it appended text/plain content type in the first part that would be wrong. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
