Here are three that don't: Lotus Notes, Mozilla, and Apple Mail.
I have exchanged HUNDREDS of S/MIME messages with IBM/Lotus
developers in the last year that use Lotus notes- so perhaps you have
a buggy version?
I've been trying to interest development in investigating the Mozilla,
Notes and Apple Mail interoperability problems, but not having much
luck. I'm running the latest gold code; I don't generally touch the
beta stuff.
Older versions of Lotus Notes checked too many of the headers
and got validation errors. That was fixed about two years ago.
Well, I have problems with the latest gold code releases of all three
programs.

Just for the record, my copy of Apple Mail (on Panther) correctly
verifies Doug's and Phillip's mails, but not mathew's. It says that
mathew's mails have been modified or tampered with. Given that
mathew's mail appears to have been *sent* from Apple Mail, I would
suggest that his problem stems from somewhere in his own setup.
Well, that's very strange. For me, Apple Mail, also running on Panther,
doesn't verify Doug's or Phillip's mails--on either of two completely
different machines. Maybe the e-mails really *have* been tampered with
by some broken e-mail MTA somewhere?
I can send signed e-mail to myself at work and have Notes verify the
signature correctly, so I have good reason to believe my mail is signed
OK when I send it.
So again, it's pretty clear to me that this stuff just isn't reliable
enough yet.
