#3339: S/MIME Certificate Import Failures

     Type:  defect                   |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  major                    |   Milestone:          
Component:  mutt                     |     Version:  1.5.20  
 Keywords:  smime s/mime smime_keys  |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 When importing a certificate/signature chain included in an email from a
 Thunderbird user I was prompted for a label for the certificate, but later
 I wasn't able to lookup the user's certificate within mutt.

 After digging around, I saw that the 'smime_keys list' command also didn't
 show the certificate with the label I gave it.  I googled around and found
 this page:
   http://kb.wisc.edu/middleware/page.php?id=4091

 I applied his smime_keys patch and it fixed my problem.  It looks like it
 might properly traverse a certificate chain, rather than just pulling the
 first one.  However, I have not looked closely at how the import is done,
 so I'm not 100% sure he's implicitly trusting things in a dangerous way.
 Please review the changes and apply if it's safe.

 I'm running the stock 1.5.20 on Debian unstable right now.
