How do you open the decrypted.smime file

[kps143]

sorry if this should be obvious, but I can't seem to open the decrypted.smime file. Could you provide instructions?

Hey sorry I'm replying to this so late. There is now some more detailed instructions on the main page, but for your specific question:

the decrypted.smime file isn't intended to be read directly. The script should produce additional files in the same folder as the decrypted.smime file.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, after selecting the smime.p7m file and the folder location to save the decrypted file, I am prompted to enter my PIN via MAC, but then I get the error "Failed to decrypt or decode file." I believe I have all the certificates on this machine as I am able to view all other webmail here. Any ideas of what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!

Are there any other error messages you get?

Does a decrypted.smime file get generated?

This is what I see (below). And yes, the decrypted.smime file gets generated, but it is Zero bytes and empty when I open it with a text editor.

ok thanks, the error stuff you posted narrowed down the issue for me, I think. Try redownloading the script (I just updated it) and try again to see if it works.
