Hi again,

I forgot to mention one detail.
I tested the same procedure importing the same certificate from a .PFX 
into Thunderbird´s Certificate Repository, and I see a strange numbers 
in the certificate selection menu:
980bc80522425e2d97e9b057e7b524b2_f23bddfe-ed63-4dd1-8a64-eb0cb8bd01c6 
[3C:91:44:B1].
I can select this certificate choosing the option with this strange 
numbers above, and then I can sign emails without problems.

¿What can I do to make Thunderbird to understand my certificate in order 
to sign?
¿I have to modify my PKCS11 code in order to make any kind of processing 
to the certificate´s common name char array? I recover this char array 
using Openssl´s function X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID.

Regards.
