Thanks for confirming, that's what I expected.

Thanks again.

I used the Keychain Access way (for reference: right-click certificate, New 
Identity Preference). So, this email should already use my newer certificate.

One question regarding the .plist file. I see some use the format as you 
posted, and some are XML files. Is there any rule that format MM expects, or 
are both valid?
