Hi Vijay,
You should see the I-Ds draft-ietf-smime-x400wrap-04 and
draft-ietf-smime-x400transport-03. In brief, x400wrap describes wrapping X.400
content types inside a CMS object, and x400transport describes conveying a CMS
object over an X.400 transport system as an X.400 content type itself. Except
in the case of a forwarded message, CMS objects are not embedded in X.400
content.
In ASN.1 terms, a CMS 'ContentInfo' object is plugged into the X.400
'content' field in X.411. The content is identified in the 'content-type'
field by either of the following OID values depending upon whether or not it is
MIME encoded.
id-data OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840)
rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs7(7) 1 }
id-ct-contentInfo OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16)
content-types(1) 6}
The x400wrap draft mainly specifies some specific uses of options in CMS
appropriate to X.400 content.
Plz let me know if I can answer any more questions.

Hello,
I have an application where in I have to build an X.400 message. The
"Content" of the message would be a CMS object. How do I insert a CMS object
into the X.400 Content ?
alternatively, How will such a message look like in ASN.1 form ?
Thanks in advance,
Vijay Hegde
