cmsutil gives me the following output:

: cmsutil -D -i envelopeddata.dat -o signeddata.dat -v
received commands
NSS has been initialized.
Got default certdb
cmsutil: failed to decode message.
cmsutil: problem decoding: security library: invalid algorithm.

Which is what I expected, as the encoding algorithm used is unknown to 
NSS unless I add it myself. I did try to decode the structure using the

CMS routines, but they also give me the exact same garbled output...
Not a signeddata structure as I would have expected, but the same
output never the less... So I expect this is a lower level problem (not
the API used), I just can't find out what it is.
