Signing Message in Thunderbird Results in Error Message
Hi, I hope this is the right location to post this message. I already asked in the mozillazine forum at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2987006 and was asked to re-post this question for the experts in this group. The problem is that I cannot sign a mail using S/MIME. I generated a certificate using StartCom's service and imported it into Thunderbird. When trying to send an email signed with this certificate I receive the following error: <quote> Sending of message failed. Unable to sign message. Please check that the certificates specified in Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings for this mail account are valid and trusted. </quote> I checked the certificate, and whether its CA was in my list of authorities. The problem is that I cannot find any indication on where the error could be. Is there anything I can do? I've been using the Enigmail plug-in but I am not sure about how it conforms to standards compared to S/MIME. That's why I wanted to switch. Thanks for your help, Kariem

Would have saved me some time if the intermediate CA was in the built- in list of CAs. Just being curious: why is this CA not in the list? Bye, Kariem

EnigMail conforms to standards, but not to the S/MIME-Standard. :-) It uses OpenPGP and PGP/MIME. S/MIME and OpenPGP use similar encryption methods, but are, unfortunately, not compatible.

Thank you, Jan. My wording was not very clear, sorry. I wanted to say that I did not know, whether PGP was built on a standard other than those evolved from from the original PGP in the early 90s. I found some information here, and of course at Wikipedia. There is certainly very good information on Wikipedia about S/MIME and OpenPGP and PGP/MIME, but I am still not sure about (future built-in) support in standard email applications or even browsers using webmail. Currently I'd favor S/MIME with capabilities built into popular mail clients and browsers. I just cannot imagine how I could send signed mails, if the receiving party has to install additional software to verify the signature. Cheers, Kariem
