Hi,

I'm having problems to digitally sign messages with SeaMonkey 2.6.1
using my personal certificate issued by a Spanish government agency
(FNMT). The personal certificate is valid (it expires in about two
months from now).

The CA for that agency is not bundled as part of SeaMonkey but I
imported the CA root certificate back in 2009, when I started using
the signature, and it has been working since then without a glitch,
including a couple of PC changes. The CA certificate is also well into
its validity time period.

But now, suddenly, when I try to send e-mails signed with this
certificate, I get a dialog prompting me to configure one or more
personal certificates before using the security feature and
redirecting me to the help contents. Nevertheless to say, the
certificate is correctly installed and selected to be used to sign
e-mail messages.

I've gone so far to remove the certificate from the certificate
database and reimported it, and it has worked for one of my e-mails,
but I forgot to remove the digital signature feature from the
remaining ones, and even though I've removed afterwards, completely
exited SeaMonkey, open it again and choose again the certificate, it
still fails to work.

Although I guess I can remove the digital signature feature from all
my e-mail accounts, remove the certificate, exit SM, open it again,
reimporting the certificate and restore the digital signature in the
selected e-mail accounts, I think something is working wrong in SM. As
I said, the certificate has been working right for years and I even
moved the SM profile from one laptop to another back in February 2011
without any problem.

I've searched Bugzilla but I haven't found anything applicable, though
I have proven to be pretty bad when digging the Bugzilla database. So,
my questions are:

1) Is anyone experiencing similar problems?

2) Should I file the bug (IOW, haven't I missed an existing bug)?

3) Can/Should I apply the full erase-reimport-reconfigure workaround,
or is it better to wait to help diagnosing the problem?

TIA

PS: Since the e-mail account I requested the certificate with is the
one still having problems to use it and the certificate expiration
date is near, I do have some interest in solving this soon. :-)
