Thanks for the reminder. I decided to test your method, and this is what
I found:

1) Searching for add-on "Header Tools Improved" within Thunderbird
provided no hits.

I am using Thunderbird version 115, which comes with Ubuntu MATE 22.04.
Thunderbird version 115 is not actually very old: it was released on
September 5 2024 (about 18 days ago), and there is only a newer version,
namely Thunderbird128.

However, searching for add-on "Header Tools Improved" on the Internet
did show version 4.7, which should be compatible with my Thunderbird
(compatible with versions 115.0 - 125.*).

I manually installed that version, and the add-on seemed to work fine.

On addons.thunderbird.net, I clicked on other versions, and I then saw a
new one labelled "version 4.8", compatible with "Thunderbird 126.0 -
132.*". That is probably the reason why Thunderbird was not showing the
add-on at all. This is all very confusing.

2) Menu item "Header Tools Improved" only shows up in the context-menu,
and only in the message pane. If you open the e-mail in a separate
window, like I tend to do, then there is no way to access the add-on.
The shortcoming with the pop-up menu is actually documented: "Due to
changes in Thunderbird this add-on now only works with messages opened
in the Message Pane. The Message and Message list context menus only
appear when a message is visible in the Message Pane. The Message menu
submenu had to be removed."

3) Option "Change header details" is not enough, you have to use "Edit
full source".

There is no find function in the text editor, so you have to visually
scan for the "application/pkcs7-signature" you mention. In the
particular e-mail I tried this with, there were quite a few headers to
go through.

4) The e-mail had been sent from some Apple Mail software. Instead of
"application/x-pkcs7-signature", the Content Type was
"application/pkcs7-signature" (without the "x").

This procedure is definitely not for the average Thunderbird user.

Other than that, your procedure did work. After making the change to the
content type line, an additional attachment called "smime.p7s" appeared.
I was then able to delete both the original attachment and smime.p7s
too.
