Description peter.lipp 2009-12-14 13:22:23 UTC 
We are using different sets of certificates for signing and encrypting, which is (conforming to X.509) encoded in the resp. key-usage-bits in the certificate. Evolution ignores these and uses whatever it hits on first (I guess) for both. I can't even select my different certificates for these purposes, I am only offered one. When sending to other persons, who also use this separation, evolution used the signature-key for encryption, which does not work, as the recipient can't decrypt then (maybe he could if he also used evolution, which he doesn't :-)

Can provide more infos and test-certificates if you needed any...
