Hi,

I've, uh, been unbusy. In fact, I've been enjoying a long holiday weekend.

This isn't right. Do I understand correctly that, according to the your
input testmail.eml, this shouldn't throw an error?

Or is it the case that the first chunk of code - smime_load_pkcs7_bio() -
is wrong and the second chunk - smime_load_pkcs7() - is the correct way to
do ... whatever it is that you're doing? (I've been away from the S/MIME
code for quite a while and can't tell off-hand the purpose of the code,
sorry.)

Cheers.
