MOSS is designed to overcome the limitations of PEM by
handling MIME messages and being more liberal in the
hierarchy requirements. But MOSS has so many implementation
options that it is possible for two independent developers
to come up with two MOSS mailers that will actually "talk"
to each other.
There was a mistake in the first version of the S/MIME FAQ (quoted above) that
has since been fixed in the online version. It now reads:
""But MOSS has so many implementation options that it is possible for two
independent developers to come up with two MOSS mailers that will actually _NOT_
"talk" to each other.""
...as opposed to the the suggestion from Jeff at TIS: "...impossible for two
independent..."
