bug: S/MIME and gnus-message-replyencrypt

[Christoph Groth]

Hi,

The Content-Type header of S/MIME-encrypted mesages that I send from
Gnus looks like this:

Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type=enveloped-data;
        name="smime.p7m"

I suppose that this is correct, as decryption works fine.

There seems to be a problem, however: When replying to such a message
with gnus-message-replyencrypt set to t, the reply is not being marked
for encryption automatically by the function
gnus-summary-handle-replysign.  If I understand the code correctly this
happens because the function gnus-mime-display-part does not recognize
the message as encrypted and does not (gnus-add-wash-type 'encrypted).

Would someone who knows the code care to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Christoph

I'm not familiar with this code, either.  Could you submit a bug report
with `M-x report-emacs-bug', and perhaps that will get a response...
