While p7sign opens files as binary files, p7verify does not (see lines 207 and 220). So, p7verify fails to verify the digital signatures of some files created on Windows by p7sign.

Thanks for this report Kurt.
Nowadays this change will not make difference for most UNIX systems, but should be useful for Windows [1].
Looks to be an easy fix in two lines of p7verify.c.

Would you like to post a patch?

Thanks,
