Hi, I'm just trying to start exchanging signed and encrypted messages with a friend.
I'm running Debian Mozilla 1.1-1, and I'm unable to send an encrypted message to him, although the message security window for a composed message says that I have a valid certificate for the recipient address. After a little googling and searching bugzilla I found Mozilla bug 139882 (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139882) which says that "it is impossible to use a 512 bit key for encrypting a message". How can I verify that this is the case? When I look at the certificate of my partner in the Mozilla certificate manager I'm unable to see anything about the strength of the certificate. When I look at the message from that my Mozilla imported the certificate I can also not see how strong it was encrypted. Thanks Stephan
