Hi Jason,

Thanks for your patient.

I have received your demo project. However, I still can not get the
confirmation if there is a build-in support for this in .Net2.0. I am
current contacting other support team regarding your issue. Thanks for your
understanding.

Hi Jason,

Sorry for letting you wait for so long.

With a lot of discussion and researching with our another support team
engineer, we are unfortunately to find that the scenario for supporting
S/MIME messages was not designed into System.Net.Mail in .Net2.0.

Currently, we have written a sample code snippet with CDO in .Net managed
code snippet below, for your information:
=================================Code
snnipet====================================
CDO.Message msg2 = new CDO.MessageClass();
msg2.From = "(e-mail address removed)";
msg2.To = "(e-mail address removed)";
msg2.Subject = "Secure Mail Test";
================= 1==================
ADODB.Stream stream2 = msg2.BodyPart.GetEncodedContentStream();
stream2.Type = ADODB.StreamTypeEnum.adTypeBinary;
byte[] message = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Can you read
this?");
stream2.Write(message);
stream2.Flush();
stream2.Close();
=================2======================
CDO.Message msg = new CDO.MessageClass();
msg.From = "(e-mail address removed)";
msg.To = "(e-mail address removed)";
msg.Subject = "Secure Mail Test";
msg.Configuration = new CDO.ConfigurationClass();
msg.Configuration.Fields[@"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/se
ndusing"].Value = 2;
msg.Configuration.Fields[@"http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sm
tpserver"].Value = "myserver";
msg.Configuration.Fields.Update();
====================3================================
msg.BodyPart.ContentMediaType = "application/pkcs7-mime; name=smime.p7m;
smime-type=enveloped-data;";
msg.BodyPart.ContentTransferEncoding = "base64";
msg.BodyPart.Fields.Append("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-disposition",
DataTypeEnum.adVarChar, 255, FieldAttributeEnum.adFldUpdatable,
"attachment; filename=smime.p7m");
msg.BodyPart.Fields.Update();
=======================4====================================
string strContent = msg2.GetStream().ReadText(msg2.GetStream().Size);
byte[] pbBytes = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strContent);
GCHandle GCBytes = GCHandle.Alloc(pbBytes, GCHandleType.Pinned);
IntPtr ptrBytes = GCBytes.AddrOfPinnedObject();
envelop.Content = ptrBytes;
============================================================
// encrypt data
ADODB.Stream stream = msg.BodyPart.GetEncodedContentStream();
stream.Type = StreamTypeEnum.adTypeText;
stream.WriteText(envelop.Encrypt(CAPICOM_ENCODING_TYPE.CAPICOM_ENCODE_BASE64
), StreamWriteEnum.stWriteLine);
stream.Flush();
stream.Close();

GCBytes.Free();

// send message
msg.Send();
============================================================================

Do let me know how it works for you.

Thanks!

Jeffery,

Thanks for keeping with this. I already have a working solution with CDO,
ADO and CAPICOM so I guess I will have to wait until the 3.0 framework?? Do
you know if there are plans to support SMIME moving forward? How else in a
Managed environment are we going to Digitally sign emails??

Again, thanks for your time and dedication to my problem..

Jason

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your patient!

I and the US support team engineer has discussed the possibility of
supportability of S/MIME class in .Net 3.0 (Orcas) with the senior persons
there. No body has a definite answer unless it releases for BETA. Thanks
for your understanding.

You may also feedback this suggestion to the product team in the link below:

Do let me know if you require any other information on this issue.
