Hello,

I encountered an expired cert for an IMAP (STARTTLS) server from an
ISP.  While I've followed up with the ISP about the expired cert,
there was something about Thunderbird's behavior that caught my
attention.

In the "Add Security Exception" dialog box, the checkbox for
"Permanently store this exception" was checked by default.  Given
users' tendency to click-through security warnings, would it not
perhaps be better for that box to be UNchecked by default?

That way they'll get a warning each time, and more likely to go bug
their service provider to keep their certs up to date.
