Outlook For Mac 2011 How To Read A P7m Attachments
Well, you could switch to Mail.app - as it has no problems with signed messages.
At least, I have not have had any problems with it the last 1-2 years...
Maybe PGP signing is a problem?
Mail.app even signs / encrypts the message for you if you have a certificate in your keychain... :-)

E-mail is many things, but, unfortunately, 'safe' is not one of them.
There is an old saw that you should never send something in e-mail that you
would mind seeing on the front page of the New York Times, and that's as
true today as it was when e-mail first became popular in the 90's. E-mail
(and, in fact, all Internet traffic) travels through many servers between
your computer and its final destination, all belonging to strangers. And
while it's true that the sheer volume of e-mail that travels the 'net these
days is probably enough to keep yours safe even if someone does care enough
to snoop, I still wouldn't send a credit card number or the PIN for my ATM
card through e-mail.
This is a long-standing problem that has yet to be fully addressed by
standards, but there is a solution, albeit one that requires you and your
e-mail partner to take some steps. You can get a free digital certificate
that will allow you to digitally 'sign' your e-mails and allow others to
send you encrypted e-mail. You can also send encrypted e-mail to anyone who
sends their certificate to you.
This all sounds more complicated than it is. Basically, the steps are to
sign up for a certificate, install that certificate (handled automatically
for you by the Mac), then start using it. If someone sends you their
certificate in e-mail, you simply have to tell your e-mail program to save
it (again, handled automatically if you use Mail, and requiring one step if
you use Entourage).
You can get a free certificate from a company called Thawte
(http://www.thawte.com) and can find the complete instructions (and what is
probably a better explanation than the one I just provided) here:

The direct page for the free e-mail certificate is here:

This hint is nonsense. All mainstream e-mail applications will work with s/mime messages. As a previous commenter noted, Mail.app works perfectly. Also, Thunderbird works, and Entourage works, and eudora works.
I suspect that the author of this hint was using Hotmail or something. This is not a Mac hint! Hotmail doesn't read s/mime messages on windows either! Use a real e-mail client!

I have found that if you save a S/MIME e-mail message from Entourage you can open it in Mozilla to decrypt it. I have a mail rule for emails that contain smime attachments. The rule triggers an AppleScript to save the message and then open it in Mozilla. It is not the most elegant solution, but it works for the few signed e-mails I receive every month.
Well, it also works that way if you are using Claris eMailer...
Sorry, but please move over Eudora. Even Microsoft Applications can handle S/MIME nowadays. I would still suggest to keep away from Microsoftware. Instead user the wonderful Mail.app or Thunderbird!

There is no working S/MIME plugin available for current Eudora on MacOS X. Entrust's docs are pretty clear that they support up through Eudora 5.0.2 and MacOS 9. Sadly, Qualcomm's SDK for plugins also seems to be rather outdated for the Mac and seems to demand CodeWarrior. That reduces the audience for writing such a plugin, since the free dev tools for Mac OS X are perfectly suitable for that sort of work.
Eudora for Mac was neglected by Qualcomm from 2004 onwards, before they let it go completely. Perhaps it's time for the OP to update his mail client?

There is an Entrust plug-in for Eudora. We use it at work.
AFAIK the Entrust plugin is not available for private person, only companies can buy it.
Laurie writes: I have a Mac, iPhone and iPad and I use Apple Mail. When my husband sends or forwards an email to me from Outlook using his PC, the attachments arrive as “winmail.dat” and I can’t open them.
Every search I have made on this subject says that this is just a problem between Outlook and Mail. Many forums recommend 3rd party software to open the attachments. You have got to be kidding! We shouldn’t have to be bouncing around with multiple programs just to do something as simple as see an attachment.
Is there a setting I am missing?
Hi Laurie! Nope, you’re not missing anything—and yes, there are occassions when Outlook and the Mac’s Mail app don’t play well together.
Specifically, Outlook has its own, unique method for formatting email messages that many other email clients can’t quite decode.
When that happens, the body of the message turns into an attachment named “winmail.dat”—and no, your Mac can’t open it without help from a third-party program. Annoying, but true.
Too many mail messages arriving as “winmail.dat” attachments? Windows users can set Outlook to disable the culprit: “Rich Text” formatting.
The good news is that your husband can set Outlook to deactivate its so-called “Rich Text Format” (which lets Outlook users compose messages with fancy fonts and other features) when sending messages to non-Outlookers.
Here’s how…
Note: The steps below are for Outlook 2013; the instructions may (and probably will) differ for earlier versions of Outlook.
- Open Outlook, click the File menu, then select Options.
- Click the Mail tab on the left side of the Outlook Options window, find the “Compose messages” section, then change the setting for “Compose messages in this format” from “Rich Text” to “HTML” or “Plain Text.”
- Does your husband want to keep his “Rich Text” setting? If so, he can scroll down to the “Message format” heading, find the “When sending messages in Rich Text format to Internet recipients” setting, then select “Convert to HTML format.”
OK, but what about mail messages you’ve already received with cryptic “winmail.dat” attachments?
Well, there are (as you mentioned) several apps in the Mac App Store that’ll open winmail.dat attachments for you, but they all cost a few bucks.
A highly recommended free option, though, is a program called “TNEF’s Enough.” Just download, install and launch the app, then drag a winmail.dat file onto TNEF’s Enough dock icon to open the attachment.
