They absolutely would, in a heartbeat, and they'd consider it a 
bargain.

Sounds like a defect to me, do you have a problem report ticket with
Thunderbird or a forum entry which described the problem in more 
detail

(like which version is affected).


It turns out the actual behavior is a little different than I
originally described.  If you have a valid certificate with a given
email address, and a revoked certificate (or certificates) with that
same email address, it will silently add the revoked certificates, as
well as the valid one, to your email.  This is still a bad idea.

On the other hand, Thunderbird now says it's a deliberate choice on
their part, so...


In one word: broken by design. :-(

I'm sorry, but all this stuff becomes slightly off-topic

I agree on a personal level, but if you use your email also to
communicate with business users (usually using Outlook) it would be 
nice

to get their mails in a human readable format. Which requires,
unfortunately, usually html.


Since ages human read mails in ASCII or UTF-8 text. Why you think this
is not a "human readable format"?

HTML as e-mail (read carefully: as email, not as attachment) should be
forbidden because most MUA automatically fetch additional remote 
content

which violates privacy and can fetch bad content into your system.
You're warned.

should should... Sorry?
In a perfect world we can choose our communication partners. In a 
semi-perfect world we can at least try to missionate against HTML mails, 
but maybe with not much success. In the real world we have very often no 
choice.
This battle is lost. The only choice is to harden the MUAs. Everything 
else is IMHO a quite academic disussion.
