Smart P7M Support

"p7m" attachments are files with a digital signature that confirms sender's identity.
Since Thunderbird considers just the attachment type (content-type), it's more correct talk about attachments with type application/pkcs7-mime or application/x-pkcs7-mime.
Teorically Thunderbird should automatically verify signature and show attachments in postive case; if the verify fails, attachments are hidden.
Unfortunately this verify seems not work properly in some cases, even if you import new certificates.
Is this a Thunderbird bug or it depens from wrong settings? As far as I concern, I'm not able to give an answer and I don't know official documentation about this problem, except bug n°243833.

While waiting an "officiale" answer from Thunderbird developers, this extension - build after lots of tests - can "unhide" and handle "p7m" attachments.

Note: to see the p7m attachments in print/print preview, you must use the extension PrintingTools - version 0.2.15 or higher.
