RE: openssl smime ability to create a multi-attachment message?

2005-04-07 Thread Chevalier, Victor T.
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?!

Thanks.

The first part of a multipart/signed message is the data to be signed,
the
second the signature itself.

So that's perfectly normal: if it appended text/plain content type in
the
first part that would be wrong.

RE: openssl smime ability to create a multi-attachment message?

2005-03-29 Thread Chevalier, Victor T.
Does openssl support taking a mime message and doing this?  Or is there
something else I will need to convert a mime message to smime?

Thank you,
Victor

You have to create the MIME message in the appropriate format and send
that to
the smime command.

This is however an area where many S/MIME clients have difficulties.

The input to the smime command is expected to be in MIME format unless you
specify -text in which case it adds text/plain headers.

However OpenSSL only does EOL=CRLF translation on the whole MIME document by
default. If that is inappropriate you have to supply a canonical MIME document
and turn off translation with the -binary option.

openssl smime ability to create a multi-attachment message?

Is it possible to have the command line of openssl create an smime

Sample e-mail:

Hey here are some files.
-Attachments: doc1.doc doc2.doc

Is there a command line way to create the SMIME format for this?  If not
is there code built into openssl to handle this?  Or has someone already
