Actually, the LDAP lookup feature got added in Mozilla 1.0 and I had it working back at Netscape. That is, until people started being forced to use aol.* addresses that didn't have certs published in the directory.
That's potentially great news! Can you enlighten us about how to get certs from an LDAP directory server with moz 1.6 or 1.7?
As I recall, you just needed to configure the directory in Mozilla, and it automatically got used when you sent an e-mail.
I had my browser set to encrypt by default, and it would always look up everybody's certs in the LDAP based on e-mail address. More than 50% of the time, the messages would come back with "please send unencrypted" because the recipients weren't good about keeping their latest private key, or used multiple e-mail clients and didn't replicate their key ...
From what I see in the UI, the only directory setting is under Edit / Preferences / Mail & Newgroup / Addressing / Directory Server .
This is said to be for autocompletion, but I think it works for the recipient cert lookup as well. If that doesn't work, you could probably search bugzilla on closed bugs to find when it got added, but grepping the PSM code is probably a better way.
