an S/MIME user. SMIMECapabilities is carried as a signed Attribute
in the CMS SignedData within a signed S/MIME message. A recipient of
such a message should consult the SMIMECapabilities to discover, for
instance, what encryption algorithm to use in future (eg. encrypted)
messages to the sender of that signed message.
