[ILUG] handling smime attachments

[ILUG] handling smime attachments

Hi - due to The Only Machine Set Up To Decrypt SMIME Messages That Was 
Set Up Before I Began Working Here breaking badly and apparently 
irreperably, I desperately need to get decrypting smime encrypted emails 
working and quickly.

A sensible first step seemed to be installing enigmail. Which i've done 
and which appears to be working correctly. But the emails are not only 
not displaying the attachment, they're not displaying at all. They come 
up completely blank. Ive looked at the email with vim  on the mail 
server and it appears fine. Its a Content-Type: multipart/alternative 
email, with the first part Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN and the second 
Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-mime

Clicking decrypt in mozilla just tells me Error - no valid PGP data 
block found. I've unchecked the hide smime buttons type dealy in the 
enigmail configuration but i got nothing.

As a complete aside, installing mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail on debian 
results in a seriously borken menu. On normal mozilla it looks fine.

If anyone can suggest any solution that'll get me around this problem, 
please do. It doesn't *have* to be a mozilla solution.

Thanks,

John
