[rescue] S/MIME and mutt

I figure if nobody *here* can answer this question, I'm probably SOL.  :D

So I have multiple email accounts, some of which I read using 
Thunderbird, one using mutt.  One of my frequent correspondents on the 
account I read in mutt has just switched to S/MIME signatures instead of 
GnuPG/OpenPGP.

... And mutt correctly detects, extracts and processes the signature, 
but is unable to validate the certificate.

I'm running 2.2.12 and have been unable to find a "get S/MIME working in 
mutt" page for a version newer than 1.5.  Can anyone help me out?  I'm 
99% sure it's just a configuration problem, but I can't find an 
up-to-date document to tell me how to set it up.
