Multipart non-clearsigned messages possible?

2002-09-09 03:46:21
Hello all,
 
This may seem like a silly question, but is it possible to have a multipart,
non-clearsigned s/mime message?
My current thinking is
 
a) it's not possible: the whole message gets signed, including attachments.
 
b) it's possible: some part(s) of the message get signed, other parts, e.g.
audio file, can be attached without being signed. The verification is only
computed across the eContent inside the signedData anyway.
 
If b), does anyone know of an example I could look at (incl. headers)?
 
Thanks,
 
 - Lnr
