The first one fixed his outlook/thawte freemail cert problem - but the problem I mentioned was that TB said his broken email was signed - which it clearly wasn't. That bug still persists. And I've written you an email with a p12 attached because the problem with the different keystores isn't resolved either. If you didn't get it I can send it again. > The only people who have trouble with PKI are the people who try to be > their own CAs using OpenSSL, after reading some web page that repeats > the nonsense that real CAs add no value and anyone can successfully be > his own CA with OpenSSL in 5 minutes.

But if you want me ROT13 user to shut up that's fine. One last note: maybe you think that your software works without problems is because users who have problems are afraid to ask here and I know from experience that bugreports in bugzilla often get closed/ neglected ~2 years after the post without a solution.
