s/mime with openssl, additional newline

s/mime with openssl, additional newline

[Mario F. Duhanic]

Hi,

when signing emails via "S/MIME Sign" gnus w/ openssl
seems to "mispipe" the message.
pgp/mime seems to work.

Configuration:
Gnus:
        Gnus/5.1007 (Gnus v5.10.7) XEmacs/21.4.19 (windows-nt)
        (using pgg, not mailcrypt.el)
OpenSSL:
        OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 (self compiled with minGW, march=i686,
        no-asm, adjusted makefile, no patches)

Next you see the result (as seen in INBOX) of the signed message,
it's the original mail (with headers),
unimportant headers are shortened and everything before the
user-agent-heaeder-item is not included.
"Mind the gap" :) and the "--text follows this line--"-line.

Has anyone had this problem before?

It seems somehow to be Gnus' fault, because it keeps asking me twice for
my passphrase:
once at the very beginning of the sending process and
once when smtpmail is somewhere in the middle of the body-send-process.

Because I am not a "real gnuser", could anybody tell me how to correctly
backtrace the whole sending process of smtpmail (e.g. writing everything
into a file)? I've already tried to work with the debugging facility but
I failed to gain the information I needed.

I've also tried to s/mime-sign (pkcs#7) a "message" manually via openssl and
there it worked fine.

Regards and thanks,
Mario
