Hey, David.  Thanks so much for covering our butts and finally putting
together these tests.

They look good to me.  Unfortunately, one of the tests is failing for
me, but I'm completely perplexed as to why:

T355-smime: Testing S/MIME signature verification and decryption
 PASS   Generate CA Cert
 PASS   Generate User Cert
 PASS   emacs delivery of S/MIME signed message
 FAIL   Signature verification (openssl)

 PASS   signature verification (notmuch CLI)

??  There's visually no difference between the supposedly diff'd text.
A hd of the output files being compared shows that openssl is using a
carriage return '0d' followed by line feed '0a' for every newline,
in place of a simple line feed '0a' in the original message file:

Bad openssl.  (Daniel off stage screaming: "why aren't you using
certtool!")

I also noticed that the "Verification successful" string is not reliably
being printed to stderr before the message output.

Two possible patches to fix the problems are attached below.  The second
is maybe slightly preferred, since it eliminates any reliance on broken
openssl message output whatsoever.

Thanks again for working on this, David.

jamie.
