Hmmm. I regularly get S/MIME signed mail (when will evo support
come???), and never had any troubles viewing them.

Perhaps the MIME structure of those mails is botched. Example of a
correct S/MIME message:

---------------------
From: ...
Subject: ...
Content-Type: multipart/signed;
        boundary="----=The_MIME_Boundary";
        protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature";
        micalg=SHA1

This text is *not* displayed in mail clients (outside the MIME structure)

-----=The_MIME_Boundary
Content-Type: text/plain

This is the message text

-----=The_MIME_Boundary
Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

[the base64 encoded S/MIME blob]

-----=The_MIME_Boundary-

any text after the final MIME boundary is again invisible.

---------------------
