(originally filed as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473512)

  When thunderbird opens an SSL encrypted connection to any
  server (tested with NNTP and SMTP servers) for which it
  does not know the CA, thunderbird opens a dialog box
  asking the user what to do:

   +--[ Website Certified by an Unknown Authority ]---+
   | [...] trusted site [...]                         |
   | [...] your browser [...]                         |
   | [...] the site's webmaster [...]                 |
   | [...] the Web site news.example.com [...]        |
   | [...]                                            |
   +--------------------------------------------------+

  All that terminology is just plain wrong in the context of
  mail servers (IMAP/POP, SMTP), or NNTP servers.

I agree, the text should be more "server"-centric, not "site" or "web site".  I imagine this change will require updating all the localizations for these strings?
That is what it would appear to necessitate.
