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.
