Before any word: we, who are against the current method, also want TB to be the best. Hey, I am making money from it, and believe me, I dont look for short-term solutions to quickly get customers, I need customers who are satisfied. Best advertisement, least support if no problem with the software, more income on the long run. After this pledge: TB is inconsistent on an area related to this topic. And that is to allow running attachments with certain extensions. By default, the user is not allowed to run files with exe, pif, etc. extensions. But he has the right to modify that list in the Settings. So, the user CAN compromise his system via the "help" of TB. This current topic is very similar, I think. Max: you will not lose that niche, if you do everything you can protect the user, but give them the CHOICE. I think, we all agree here at the list that the best solution would be this: if there is a problem with the certificate, then a big red warning window appears with the reason clearly stated. List the possible issues, but let the user decide. Say something about "contact your administrator", "your system may be compromised", BUT give the user the choice to be dumb and go ahead. Sometimes the small companies will not update their certificate, financial issues, and then TB is dead... You dont want that.
