(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Daniel Coquette]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050318 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050318 Firefox/1.0.2

We cannot send message signed by a certificat we've just inserted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a self-signed certificate for use to send/receive mails
2. Insert the CA (.cer) 
3. Insert the certificat (.p12) in the personnal certificat area (was empty)
4. I write a new message, sign it, and click send.

Actual Results:  
An error dialog says that it can not send the message because the certificat is
not valid or expired.


Expected Results:  
Send the message ;)

Workaround :

1. Go to Account options -> Security : remove the association of the certificat
with the account and re-choose the certificat to associate with the account.
2. You can send the message
