Hi, Could you explain how can it be verified that the inbound certificate from the signed mail may not offer one the option of using the encryption privilege of S/MIME?
In the "Certificate Manager" window of Seamonkey, I could see the sender's certificate under the "Other peoples" Tab, there it was showing with the purposes as "Client, Sign, Encrypt". Are there any other settings of the inbound certificate from the signed mail that I can verify. Thanks, -Harsh On 5/6/07, Peter Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
