Hi 

I found your webpage a couple of days ago and tried it out. Surprise:
it does not work in the following sense.

    1. When opening the message with the latest seamonkey (which is
       basically firefox+thunderbird), the message is *not* displayed
       and no attachment is seen

    2. In the web interface of gmail it is even worse:
I see stuff like this

Which looks like base64 encoding.

In gnus, the message is displayed 



[[S/MIME Signed Part:Good signature from 285DB563F3701BD406D4FD057AA02D6E9200635A /CN=BRAUER UWE RICHARD OTTO - X2064123B/C=ES/SN=BRAUER/GN=UWE RICHARD OTTO/SerialNumber=IDCES-X2064123B (trust full)]]
[[End of S/MIME Signed Part]]


So something is very odd here.
