| | authority info, which apparently is ignored by all those Windoze mail
| | clients, it must be more or less okay...)
| | 	In the Scurity & Privacy Settings, S/MIME Validation tab, I unchecked
| | "Do not check certificate policies" and "Never consult a CRL", and now
| | kMail doesn't gripe about this any more.

well, except for one thing: it didn't solve the problem.
