Come on Android. I expect better out of you.
As mentioned in a previous message, this has the same S/MIME structure issue:
+ multipart/signed
- application/pkcs7-signature
The whole point of using multipart/signed is to send the actual MIME
data in cleartext, so that non s/mime capable agents can read it.
This message has no data - just S/MIME data. Fail. (If you are going
to send boh content and signature in a single part, you use
application/pkcs7-mime).
We can do a better job re: handling these broken messages, but it's
still a broken message.
