Hi List, the (external) colleague figured out the problem: When Thawte generates the cert it tries to install it via IE/active-X. In XP this works if thawte is a trustworthy site and these are allowed to run active-x. Then the public and private key get installed via active-x. In vista this "makes trouble" and then only the public part of the cert get imported.
I don't quite understand how he can "sign" the email with that public cert and thunderbird shows this with the signed envelope icon. And why I can read out the cert data by clicking on that icon. Probably a lack of knowledge on my side. That still leaves a lot of points open though. E.g.: error messages (when trying to import) could actually make sense.
