1) I had report of outlook XP carshing for same reasons.... I read
somewhere that outlook is trying to get the cert above in the trust... I
can't find anything else on the subject. Do you have an idea why does it
hangs?

2) This is the reason why I sign my messages in clear text, so that any
mail client can read my message. You should be able to save the message
and process it with openssl. I'm not sure here about all the required
commands.

openssl smime -verify -in message.txt

But I think openssl is bugged or not finished on this part...

Franck,

Well two things.

1. When I get some of these signed messages (not just yours) and when
those
have certs my system doesn't like, this can make outlook hang.  I expect
win32 things to hang, blue screen or whatever so this isn't a complaint,
just a reality of the OS.  For those messages on a win32 system I
usually
have to delete them to get the email reader to work again.  

2. An older version of pine on one of my systems doesn't seem to have
any
awareness of certificates and ignores them.  It came around before
Certificate/signed email was a common thing so doesn't have code to deal
with the signature.  Other email readers, or even email host
applications
might very well strip certificates like they do some attachments.
