Description Paul Menzel 2011-11-23 18:06:30 UTC 
The attached message [1] is signed but the signature is marked as invalid.

I found the following fields.

        Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg="sha1"; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; boundary="=-lYAU0MbfCPO/lYiSvhhG"

        Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s"

Can you tell me why, please? Is that an Evolution limitation or is was
the message signed incorrectly?

PS: I reported this to the list evolution-list [2] but was told to file a new bug here.

Thanks for a bug report. The exact message thread for that yours is [3], where you also added the exact message as an attachment (the archives of intel-gfx breaks message in the .gz format, thus they became unusable with respect of S/MIME signing).

I see from the thread [3] that we found the issue later in it, your evolution didn't have updated CaCert root certificate, while the system database does have it updated. I also pointer you to bug #585301.

I do not think there lefts anything to investigate. What do you think?
