Re: Symmetric encryption, PEM, and MOSS.

I may be too simple-minded (I often am), but what's wrong with a truly
trivial MIME multipart/encrypted that just has:

content-type: multipart/encrypted; protocol=des-symmetfic
--gotcha
content-type: application/des-symmetric-key-id

Please use key number 5 in cbc-chained mode with IV 123456
--gotcha
content-type: application/octet-stream

incomprehensible
--gotcha--

I always thought the separation of the security multiparts from the
MOSS stuff was intended to make this truly trivial?
