Nelson;
Your response is probably an over-generalization:
"> AFAIK, a text/x-vcard is not a certificate. So, it's no surprise that
> Netscape browsers don't load it as if it were one."
(see below for context)
When I access the very same LDAP and card image with Communication 4.78 I
get a popup that proclaims *"Downloading an E-Mail Certificate"*. Clicking
'OK' will place it into the database for 'Other' certificates.
It seems that the "Netscape" in your response should read "Mozilla".
Netscape works, Mozill has yet to handle it....
