User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080703 Mandriva/2.0.0.16-1.1mdv2008.1 (2008.1) Firefox/2.0.0.16
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.16 (20080725)

Not only it is impossible to connect certificate to a secondary identity (see 252250 and 437683), more important: a secondary identity can not be used to sign or encrypt an email.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two identities for one mailbox.
2. Add a X.509 certificate toe the main identity.
3. Wrote a mail using the secondary identity.
4. When setting S/MIME to "encrypt message" a requester appears telling you that you need to configure a personal certificate.

This problem remains even if a certificate is used which is valid for the secondary identities email-address,
Actual Results:  
Can not send encrypted mails when using a secondary identity
