Ironic how in a discussion on S/MIME and it's role in curtailing spam
on the Interent that almost 40KB of the digest is composed of
non-human-readable p7s attachments, which is about 81% (estimate based
on ~39846 p7s bytes/49026 total bytes)
Why does this bother you?
The same way as it bothers me when people attach to their replies the
original mail instead of quoting it. The attachments folder of my Eudora
inbox is filled with hundreds of useless winmail.dat, smime.* and other
similar files.
One could blame it of course onto the mail client(s), but I think it rather
falls in the same category as the discussion about upgrading/replacing mail
servers.
However, keep sending your smime.p7s, they might become useful one day.
