  Some time ago I started a dirty script to provide basic 
support for smime, it's not completed but perhaps could be 
useful for someone.

 The scripts tried to emulate PGP 2.x , and could check 
messages and manage certificates.

 If you execute it with pgpssl mail-file the script can 
check the integrity (openssl smime ....) of the message, 
not the CA-root path, sorry, and also store the user 
certificate in a local database.

 you can also sign messages (if you import a p12 file ) with
pgp -s message .

 You can query the local database with pgpssl -kv , and add 
certificates and keys in the .p12 format

 I think that the script could also sign and encrypt 
messages, but I don't remember exactly and the code is not 
exactly good.
 
 pgpssl -h and ppgssl -kh will provide some help, but some 
of the functions were not implemented.

 My idea was to build a "all in one" command line script 
that later could be integrated in exmh to use smime inside 
exmh, but the script has been sleeping for a long time.


 The script is attached in the file,

regards

paco
