361656 - Alllow to import self signed certificates into "Other People's" Tab to encrypt mail to them

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 310446

(Thunderbird :: Security, enhancement)

Description

[Ralf Hauser]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8

If I check fingerprints with the recipient, there is no reason not to let me use such a certificate for encryption?


Unfortunately, this fails without erro message, but this appears to be known: see also Bug 338615

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
certificate can be used to encrypt. Possibly I have to confirm during import that I checked the fingerprint out-of-band.

You need a trunk build to see the fix for bug 310446 (which bug 338615 was duped to). On branch you will have to wait for bug 360528 also.

Unlikely you would see the fix in a 1.5.0.x build though. Resolving as duplicate of bug 310446 (read up on that). See also bug 294660 comment 5.
