Re: [Evolution-hackers] S/MIME Problem

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Could you please file a bug on bugzilla.ximian.com to track this issue, and let me know the number?

I think we can do this, i think.  The certdb stuff in nss is a bit weird though so i'm not 100% I can get it to work (otherwise it should be trivial).

Thanks,
 Michael
