I think that part is because Thawte Freemail is an intermediate CA, and not installed by default. Anyway, I don't think that the "trust" issue is the problem here - after all the trust status reported is very inconsistant. However if the certificate was untrusted to the point that Mozilla reports it as not being found when attempting encryption, then surely it should report an error when verifying a signed message from the same person? As my certificates are issued by Thawte, if any of the S/MIME coders are out there, want to test against a Thawte cert, and don't have one in their "Other people's", send me an email, and I can sign a message back to you. > also there are some bugs filed that deal with not being able to > import/restore certs from p12 files.

Definately some combination of uninstall 0.9.9 and install 0.9.8 removed a personal cert on more than one occassion. - Dave.
