Quite a lot... It needs a major rewrite, probably a completely new CMS section to handle this anything like properly. I'd really like it to support streaming ASN1 too. Its planned but I've not received much interest so far. Anyone interested should let me know. > Is PKCS#7 implementation not compatible with S/MIME v3 ? > Many S/MIME clients use v2 or only produce v2 compatible messages. OpenSSLs S/MIME is compatible in the sense that PKCS#7 messages are almost always readable by S/MIME v3 (you have to do some low level stuff to create something incompatible). Equally many S/MIME v3 messages can be handled by OpenSSL S/MIME its just a few of the more complex cases it can't deal with. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
