As Kaspar correctly clarifies in bug 337430 comment 6,
the intention and current implementation of 
  nsIX509CertDB::findEmailSigningCert 
and
  nsIX509CertDB::findEmailEncryptionCert 
is to return a "user certificate", i.e. a cert where a private key is available.

I agree with Kaspar that things could go wrong if we changed that behaviour.
We should update the comments to make that clear.
