Basically, this is what I did. The certs were already imported into
Internet Explorer, so I exported them from there.

Caveat: If you select multiple certs in IE and export them, a .p7b
file will be generated, which TheBat! does not import. You need to
export each cert seperately from IE, so you will be given the choice
to export as .cer file. TB! imports .cer files just fine.

After importing, the next step is to click on an S/Mime signed message
and trust the cert. I could trust it, because I knew were I downloaded
it. After that, I got green tickmarks all over.

So, the S/Mime sigs from this particular customer now verify fine. I
thank all who contributed.
