When sending out of cygwin and using the "-nodetach" parameter, it kind of works: - the mail looks like encrypted instead of signed in the Outlook inbox (blue dot at the bottom right of the envelope icon). - when opening the message - all is fine: the content can be read, outlook claims that the signature is good, and all of a sudden the red "Signature-Icon" is fine too!
Detached signatures, however, still are a problem - and, when looking at a "-nodetach" mail for example with your ISP's web mail, you will not be able to see the content separated from a smime.p7s signature attachment, but all in a hard-to-unpack smime.p7m attachment. The underlying problem is still awaiting resolution any help or idea-providing similar experiences are appreciated. A solution attempt report to date: With Steve's help, we went through the interim step of creating a mail.eml file and visualized its CR characters cat -vte file.eml but I didn't see any differences in the produced "dollars" at the end of each line. To my eye, (ediff choked), just the last 5 lines of the signature block were different, but that could well be because the signatures didn't occur at the exact same times and I guess the message's timestamp will cause differences there. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ralf Hauser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Montag, 14.
