Which is IMO complete non-sense.
Yes, and I don't believe this is the major reason why it's not possible
in Seamonkey/Thunderbird.
The main reason is that nobody works on this part of the product,
leading it to be obsolete (one part of the problem, if the algorithm
selection was less obsolete, it would make a much more acceptable
default), never evolving for any enhancement (manual configuration of
settings like you ask, or getting S/MIME capabilities from the X509
extension when no mail has yet been received to initialize the
capabilities with better values than the default) or bug fix (using the
proper NSS S/MIME code instead of hard coding the use of SHA-1 in it's
own the code).
