[imp] Help with SMIME

At this point, you'll need your cert and key in PEM format.  Openssl is your
friend.  Export your cert and private key from Internet
Tools|Content|Certificates to a pfx file (MS' version of a pkcs12 file), then
run 'openssl pkcs12 -in <your pkcs12 file> -out <an output filename>'.

The output file will have your private key, your cert, and any signing certs in
your chain, all in PEM format, plus some text information about your data (bag
attributes, key attributes, subject, issuer, etc.).  You can then copy and paste
from there to the input screens in imp.

Something's not configured correctly.  At a guess, you could check
/turba/config/attributes.php.

Not yet.  You should be getting some info flowing your way by now - why don't
you collect it and submit it?
