- Thawte Freemail Certificate with more than two email addresses
the sender will no be matched on the first certificate. It seems that mozilla
s/mime just matches the last.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Thawte freemail cert with more than one email address
2. get a signed email from outlook or any email client with this cert an the
first mail address in the cert as sender. 
3. mozilla does not match the email sender

Actual Results:  
- mozilla gets a valid cert
- but doesn't identify the validity of the sender

Expected Results:  
should show a correctly singed email

You are reporting this bug against Mozilla 1.3
I confirm 1.3 does not yet support certs having multiple email addresses correctly.

However, Mozilla 1.4 beta and the upcoming 1.4 final should support it correctly.

Please comment in bug 50823 if you still see problems.
I did my tests using a Thawte cert, too.
