Hi Alexander;

Thanks for sending that. It's a bit tricky to review SMIME stuff as I
believe none of the devs is really using SMIME regularly. One thing that
would help is adding one or more tests. Basically the test suite already
has a SMIME certificate, so if you can encrypt a message to that cert
(or use one of the existing ones), you can test that the message
displays OK in Emacs. The corresponding test set would probably be
T450-emacs-show, but it might be easier to add to T355-smime. Eventually
we'll also need a short update to doc/notmuch-emacs.rst.

I hope that helps move review forward,

David
