Has anyone seen the following behavior and identified a root cause or
a corrective action?
Several of our processes generate an S/MIME (encrypted/un-signed)
email message, which several of us read in Apple Mail (Leopard). The
message shows up just like an un-encrypted message, and doesn't show
the lock icon. Other encrypted messages show the (visual, not email)
Security header with the lock icon.
Senders using their (varied) email clients to send a message show the
lock. Perhaps of consequence is that the keychain also has the
sender's certificates.
The messages without the lock are sent from a scripted process, one of
which uses OpenSSL in FIPS mode. These messages do not have an
associated certificate for the sender (output-only email process).
Thunderbird and MS Entourage (2008) have no problem showing the lock
icon. Seems purely an Apple Mail issue.
