Windows uses the .p7b file name extension [6] for both these encodings. A typical use of a PKCS #7 file would be to store certificates and/or certificate revocation lists (CRL). Here's an example of how to first download a certificate, then wrap it inside a PKCS #7 archive and then read from that archive:
In 2020, the S/MIME Certificate Working Group [3] of the CA/Browser Forum was chartered to create a baseline requirement applicable to CAs that issue S/MIME certificates used to sign, verify, encrypt, and decrypt email. That effort is intended to create standards including: Certificate profiles for S/MIME certificates and CAs that issue them
