check out http://www.joar.com/certificates/they describe how to use mozilla to import the key, and how to get a 'backup copy' of the key into a file from mozilla which you can then import into mutt's set up using 'smime_keys add_p12 backupfile'.
for where they get stored, there are two variables which control that; smime_certificates and smime_keys, they are listed in the smime.rc which ships with mutt.
as for managing other people's keys, I'm not quite sure yet. I have my certificate and my wife's in my smime_certificates directory. I imported mine explicitly. I think the smime.rc set up extracts certs automatically and stores them in the smime_certificates dir. since the idea is you rely on the signing authority, you don't have to verify it or anything. openssl does that.

Thank you, for this URL. I am stuck at _Get a copy of your own personal key & associated cert_, where the example is *only* for Internet Exploder ;< Anyway, I went to Thawte <http://thawte.com> to get their _free_ email certificate. However, using Mozilla under Debian, the certificate is now sucked into Mozilla, and I do not know how to get it out and use it in mutt, as per your URL's subsequent instructions. Also, as per my original post, how do I manage other people's certificates like I do with gpg/pgp and keyrings?
