The SMIME-signature is within a application/x-pkcs7-signature file (which
is a part of a multipart/signed). the following is an excerpt from the mail
you replied to before it got into mailman.

| Content-Type:‧multipart/signed;‧protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature";
|         micalg=sha1;‧boundary="7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH"
| 	Content-Disposition:‧inline
| […]
| 
| --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH
| Content-Type:‧text/plain;‧charset=iso-8859-1
| Content-Disposition:‧inline
| Content-Transfer-Encoding:‧quoted-printable

For an encrypted SMIME message it looks like these headers:
| Content-Type:‧application/pkcs7-mime;‧name="smime.p7m"
| Content-Transfer-Encoding:‧base64
| Content-Disposition:‧attachment;‧filename="smime.p7m"
| Content-Description:‧S/MIME‧Encrypted‧Message

The attachment from Richard was a git-formatted patch, but unluckily
created as following:

[-- Anhang #2: 0001-Update-configuration-for-current-versions-of-mr-vcsh.patch --]                                             
[-- Typ: application/octet-stream, Kodierung: base64, Größe: 15K --]   

Richard, did you use Google's GMail interface to reply? Didn't find a
X-Mailer header.

thanks and regards,
Andre
