Hi Thomas,

On 11 August 2000 at 23:20:23 GMT +0800 (which was 16:20 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "S/MIME Import key bug?":

Possibly :-).

Decrypt the key? I don't understand what you are asking.

Allow  me to recap for a moment: The point of discussion is that I had
Fred's  certificate (and therefore his key) in my address book. I used
that  key  to  send  Fred  an  encrypted message. The message was also
encrypted  to  my  own key (as one does, to ensure it can be read back
later).  Fred  was unable to decrypt that message and speculated as to
whether he would need my key to be able to read it. I thought not.
