Very interesting....

Did some checking around here and oddly I received the 'CA not recognized'
on one late-model version of the IE  browser. I can't explain this so will
have to keep investigating  (the data is below so feel free to hypothesize).

Also of note, we have been listening to you with respect to our certificate
offering and are planning to soon be making some changes to our offering in
response (more dramatic changes than in the past)....we learn.

Browser Data
IE 6.0.2600.0000 -- no error
IE 5.00.2919.6307 -- no error
IE 5.50.4807.2300 -- no error
IE 5.50.4134.0600IS -- CA not recognized error
