#3916: Mutt 1.8: TOFU approach bails out on first fail or reject, not offering
higher links of the cert' chain

Comment (by kratem32):
It may be a naive idea but how about this:
Use a configuration variable that simply automatically skips the "unknown
certificate" prompt.
When the variable is unset the behavior is like it is now with the latest
patch and the user can choose the certificate that is to be trusted.
Afterwards the variable is set and there is no prompt/warning unless the
specified file does not contain a valid certificate. When the certificate
warning is skipped and including the last one and no valid certificate is
found the connection is aborted.
I feel like a simple way to skip the certificate warning prompt is all
that is needed once the certificate is in place.
