Description

Attachment: QuoVadisSwissAdvanced_CA_G3_till_20280211.crt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.132 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

i) import the recipient encryption certificate under "People"
ii) tried to save a mail that should be encrypted for the recipient

Actual results:

<<Unable to save your message as draft
You specified encryption for this message, but the application failed to find an encryption certificate for [e-mail]>>

Expected results:

1. Say that an encryption certificate was found, but that it could not be verified "because the issuer" Y "is unknown"
2. Suggest to get the issuer certificate and import it into "Authorities"

The severity of these bugs was changed, mistakenly, from normal to S3.

Because these bugs have a priority of --, indicating that they have not been previously triaged, these bugs should be changed to Severity of --.

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

We deliberately don't support self signed S/MIME certificates.
I suggest wontfix.
