Steve, Thx for the hint - I kind of solved it as below, but still don't know what the real reason for the problem is.

Could well be that my Outlook2000 is the culprit - but some experience bits if this problem ever gets "really" solved: - prepending "Subject: dummy\nFrom:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to my body solved it for outlook - didn't have the same problem when I was still using BouncyCastle to encrypt (but in fairness, I didn't have the exactly same structure of the beginning of the body text either) - at least when doing the same with pgp (outlook plugin 7.03 all is fine and outlook doesn't swallow) - will report if my colleague using Thunderbird doesn't experience the same

Assuming that always the signed content is inside encrypted content and not the other way round, otherwise, my header is exposed which I do not want to happen. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
