Re: smart card and signing email => pin dialog => csp??

I disagree that it's impossible. IF the original CSP accepts the PIN via CPSetProvParam or CPSetKeyParam than the pass-through CSP can call down each time before signing and pass down the PIN, so the CSP would be satisfied.
Of course, if the original CSP doesn't support these functions to get the PIN from the application but insist on prompting the user itself than you can do nothing.

the point is how a CSP-aware application (says Outlook) behaves ?
does it relies on a CSP initialised once or does it aware of some "strong protection" policy that enforce PIN verification.
