Cannot users download and install the TC TrustCenter Class 1 CA root in their own computers? I know that I can with SeaMonkey. I've done it, and it's not complicated at all (once I've located the certificate in the CA's Web site). Has Firefox changed this? Is this not a capability of Thunderbird? What about Camino and other Gecko-based products? -- David E.
