On the other hand, this is the only place smime-CA-directory is used:
(defun smime-verify-region (b e)
"Verify S/MIME message in region between B and E.
Returns non-nil on success.
Any details (stdout and stderr) are left in the buffer specified by
`smime-details-buffer'."
(smime-new-details-buffer)
(let ((CAs (append (if smime-CA-file
(list "-CAfile"
(expand-file-name smime-CA-file)))
(if smime-CA-directory
(list "-CApath"
(expand-file-name smime-CA-directory))))))
And:
-CAfile file
a file containing trusted CA certificates, only used with -verify.
-CApath dir
a directory containing trusted CA certificates, only used with
-verify. This directory must be a standard certificate directory:
that is a hash of each subject name (using x509 -hash) should be
linked to each certificate.
Is a list of CA files, and can be in different directories, so there's,
like, no way to used them interchangeably.
So... I dunno. Somebody could just rewrite that function to use all
the files from (gnutls-trustfiles) and see if one of them are OK. I
never use smime, though, so I'm not that person.
