That message is terribly broken. It *claims* to be a multipart/signed
message, but it only contains the SMIME signature. The actual signed
data is nowhere to be found.
In other words, this is the structure of your message:
multipart/signed
application/pkcs7-signature
However, this is NOT what RFC 2633 requires. From Section 3.4.3 of
that document:
The multipart/signed MIME type has two parts. The first part contains the
MIME entity that is signed; the second part contains the "detached
signature" CMS SignedData object in which the encapContentInfo
eContent field is absent.
Thus, this is the structure necessary for multipart/signed:
multipart/signed
[MIME data part]
application/pkcs7-signature
Your MUA is badly broken.
