Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.18-6
Followup-For: Bug #514960

Lenny's version of mutt also refused to save the cert/fingerprint of my IMAPS
server but I was able to fix the problem by regenerating my IMAPS server
SSL certificate to use "Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption" rather than
"Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption".  Check which one you are using by
doing the following on your IMAPS server:

        openssl x509 -in /etc/ssl/certs/imaps-server.crt -text | less

If you are using openssl to generate your keys, check that the openssl.cnf
parameter "default_md" is set to "sha1" rather than "md5".  gnutls (used by
Mutt) now refuses to accept MD5.

This bug/change/feature of gnutls has bitten OpenLDAP users as well.  See
http://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/42 for a good summary of
the problem.
