Build 2003010808 My From address (ralfhauser@gmx.ch) is in my Thawte certificate. I get a valid signature, but the warning that the sender and signer may be different. (Question Mark in signature icon). I will next attach a screenshot and describe my suggestions. Related bug is http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152865

Suggestions: 1) List both the sender and the signer e-mail address 2) Change the text from "it is unknown whether the sender and the signer are the same person" to "the sender is only an alternate signing address of the certificate - you may want to verify with the certificate owner whether still all e-mail addresses listed in the certificate are active". 3) The second sentence could be dropped altogether once multiple e-mail addresses per certificate are handled by Mozilla. "Message is encrypted" paragraph: 4) "Message is encrypted before it was sent to you": If I am looking at my sent folder, this is obviously wrong since I am the sender. Therefore, I suggest 5) List all recipient e-mail addresses the message was encrypted to (each with a button to view the corresponding certificate as suggested in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185779)

1) to 3) will not be relevant anymore when bug 50823 is checked-in. It can be considered duplicate of bug 50823. 5) is duplicate of bug 185779. 4) seems a rather minor point. This leaves very little inside this bug. Ralf, don't you agree we should close this as DUPLICATE ? Or update the description to only keep this as a request to reword the text in 4)

Jean-Marc, all good points. I changed the subject to focus on #4 (reduced its importance to "trivial") and made the other two bugs predecessors of this one. This way, once 50823 is closed, I'll learn that and if it covers also the suggestions in here, I am happy to close immediately.

Ralf, there's still a problem now that 50823 is checked in, there's no error message anymore, but the email addres that is displayed in "Message Security" does not always match the from of the message. I created bug 200710 about this, before realizing it could be covered in this bug. But I think bug 200710 is more focused on the problem, so I feel more like keeping bug 200710 open about this at the moment.

Agreed, your http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200710 kind of covers my 1), but not 4) which is the main reason this bug is still open...

similarly, the session key strength for the payload and used algorithm should be shown as per Bug 229724
