I'm using Gnus v5.13 with the latest emacs snapshot (updated today), and
i'm having trouble trying to sign using smime. I just use C-c C-m s s,
which adds the signing cooking <#secure method=smime mode=sign> all
right. I've configured smime following the instructions in the manual,
which are basically the same as those in the emacs wiki
(http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusSMIME), pointing Gnus to a valid (as
far as i can tell) key file.
The problem is that when i send the message, emacs won't ask me for the
key password, but it won't produce any error or message i can see
either, and send and empty signature mime component in the mail[0].
Any hints on how to further diagnose the problem or solve it greatly
appreaciated!
Cheers,
jao
[0] For a news message like this one (i'm sending it through gmane),
send fails with the message:
Couldn't send message via news:
441 Post rejected, formatting error: Header tag not found.
but i guess that has to do with the smime protocol being no suitable for
nntp?

I've written that Wiki page a long time ago. Rather than using openssl,
you should try to use the gpgsm back end, as described here
