Well the question I responded to was wondering if there was a way to
have the list software re-encrypt to the members without being able to
decrypt the message first. If I understand correctly, you're saying that
S/MIME can't do that either?

Not unless there is something hidden inside all of the X.509 glop that
I'm unaware of.  Message bodies are encrypted with a session key
which is in turn encrypted with the public keys of the message
recipients.  Nothing magic there.

Right-O, thanks for clarifying. :)
