+This SMIME Messenger can generate and read S/MIME messages.
+There are some limitation for use because of this implementation,
+but it can operate "Signing", "Encryption", and "Signing + Encryption"
+with email messages, and "Decryption" and "Signing verification"
+is available for S/MIME messages.
+
+Limitation is following :
+ * only "RC2 40bit" symmentric cipher is used for encryption and
+ decryption.
+ * AiCrypto S/MIME can not operate any MultiPart analysis. Therefore,
+ the Clear Signature message type is not available to use.
+ * Signature and message will be embeded in smime.p7s file.
+ * Verification process requires the certificates, which shuold be
+ embeded in the S/MIME message.
