Hi,

when viewing s/mime encoded messages, i (still) get an error
"Could not identify PKCS#7 type". i traced the function
mm-view-pkcs7-get-type and it appears that it looks for the regexp

"0‚..	\\*†H†÷
"

but the buffer " *temp*" begins with

"0€	*†H†÷
"

(sorry for binary data)

does this mean that the contents of the encrypted part is invalid, or
the regexp is buggy?

note that these encrypted s/mime messages are viewed fine with
e.g. netscape, so it looks like a bug in gnus.

Best,
v.
