Maybe it is intentional not to have it.
Yeah, such stuff *is* always intentional in Mozilla...
If you have a destination to whom you whom you should normally send encrypted, and set opportunistic encryption, the day that the certificate fails or something, like forgetting to plug your card, that sensitive email will go out in clear, by "accident".
In a perfect world in which everybody uses encryption, that might be a problem... BTW - for expired certs, we could open alert dialogs... With the current system, it's much more likely that I forget to click on "encrypt" and myself send the mail out unencrypted by accident because the vast majority of my contacts does NOT use encryption. And for the ones who do, using encryption is fairly important... The thing is, that by far not everybody signs or encrypts email and as long as it is a hassle to users, that won't change. So again, Mozilla actually makes things worse but enforcing some "security policy" which doesn't make sense in the real world... Luckily I meanwhile found an addon "encrypt when possible" which does what I need and can even warn if something is fishy :). -S -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface
