The OID 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.4 specifies the key usage for e-mail protection:

This OID is necessary to use the certificate with openssl smime -sign and
-verify. If it is not in the certificate, the verification fails with a
certificate purpose error.

I think it would be useful to add this OID to the sample template on the
certtool invocation page:
