ahh... i never knew =) this is great i will try it out later, final question 
for these kind of messages - does the cms command handle all the messages that 
could be handled by the smime command? What i dont want is try openssl smime 
--decrypt first only to see that the recip error is thrown because the 
SUbjectKeyIdentifier is used and retry again with openssl cms --decrypt

Basically is the smime command obsolete because cms does everything now?

Thanks
