Strange problem with Notes and encryption

Hello:

I'm sending signed and encrypted multipart messages, which include some attached GIF files, using Openssl. It works correctly on Outlook and Netscape Messenger, but in Lotus Notes I have a strange problem:

I'm using small GIF images. When the message contains four attached files, it works correctly. But if I add one more image, Lotus Notes can't decrypt the message. If the images have a smaller size, I can attach six files, but with seven it doesn't work. Finally, when the message size exceeds some limit, it crashes under Lotus Notes.

If I only sign the message and don't encrypt it, it works fine on Lotus. If I send a encrypted message like that from Outlook to Lotus it also works.

I am desperateeee!!! Please, can anybody tell me something about it? I'll be grateful for it!!

- The openssl script I'm using is like this:

openssl smime -sign -in MsgMultipart.txt -signer signer.pem -inkey signer.pem | openssl smime -encrypt -subject "Signed and encrypted multipart" -rc2-40 user.pem | sendmail -fsender@aaaa.com destination@aaaa.com

- The original message I build is like this: (MsgMultipart.txt file)

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="Comunicado"

Content-Type: image/gif;
filename="1.gif"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
