Re: SMIME envelope problem (Python)

OK, I know that the manual says:
  ... it (cryptlib) cannot send or receive email, process MIME message
parts, or otherwise act as a
mail agent. ...

but I was confused by another part of the manual:
  ... Since the nesting information is contained in the MIME headers,
you don’t have to
specify the nested content type using CRYPT_ENVINO_CONTENTTYPE ...
(and also by the idea of S/MIME multipart message being an "envelope")
