Hi All,

First message to the list!

I have created a PKCS12 certificate and imported it into Kmail.  However, when 
I try to select it as the preferred key for my email account, it comes up 
with a red x across the key symbol.  I take this to mean that it is 
unsuitable.  When I check it with Kleopatra I see this under Dump:
============================================
      keyType: 4096 bit RSA
    subjKeyId: [?]
    authKeyId: [?]
     keyUsage: [error: No value]
  extKeyUsage: [none]
     policies: [none]
  chainLength: [error: No value]
        crlDP: [error]
     authInfo: [error]
     subjInfo: [error]
============================================

It also shows under Details:
============================================
Can be used for signing        No
Can be used for encryption     No
Can be used for certification  No
Can be used for authentication No
============================================

gpgsm also spits out some errors:
============================================
     validity: 2007-05-19 18:12:12 through 2010-05-18 18:12:12
     key type: 4096 bit RSA
    key usage: [error: No value]
 chain length: [error: No value]
============================================

However, when I am examining the email.crt certificate I created with openssl 
x509, which I later fed into openssl pkcs12 to create the pkcs12 certificate 
everything seems to be in order:
============================================
Certificate purposes:
SSL client : Yes
SSL client CA : No
SSL server : Yes
SSL server CA : No
Netscape SSL server : Yes
Netscape SSL server CA : No
S/MIME signing : Yes

CRL signing : Yes

Any Purpose : Yes
Any Purpose CA : Yes

============================================

Any ideas what I've done wrong?
