as you could easily see in the "Type" field, the "sime/p7s/bin" is of 
type "application/pkcs7-signature", which means that it is a signature.
you are most probably not interested in this type of file.

however, there are examples where the type is "application/octet-stream" 
and the name of the attachment (according to the "Name:" field in the 
attachment-description) is "something.pd".
the downloaded file would still default to "something.obj" (due the the 
mime-type); you have to rename the file yourself to the proper name 
(e.g. "something.pd" to make it run)

NOTE: this is a feature! as it is a simple mechanism to prevent people 
from executing code by just clicking on a link (esp. dangerous on but 
not necessarily restricted to DevilOS)

PS: so in your case, download the file, rename it to smime.p7s and see 
what happens....
