KMail 1.12.4 (KDE 4.3.5) and this bug is still here. Today I got another s/mime
signed mail. This time it was Unizeto certificate. KMail as usually failed to
validate correct signature and displayed it in yellow complaining: "root
certificate missing". Saving signed mail as *.eml file I was able to import it
to Mozilla Thunderbird which diplayed it as signed with correct and valid
signature. Thunderbird allowed me to display certificate path with option to
save full cerrtificate path. Thanks to this I was able to export full
certificate path as PEM or PKCS7 files or DER file. Importing this file to
Kleopatra allowed KMail to display this signed mail in green saying that this
mail is signed correctly and signature is valid. I tried this way to import
Verisign root certificate (the one reported in this bug) but failed. Verisign
root certificate is imported in Kleopatra but signed mails using Verisign
certificate still remains yellow.

1. KMail today still has buggy s/mime: "root certificate missing" bug known
since KDE3. Nothing changed since KDE3.
2. I still do not understand why Unizeto root certificate could be correctly
imported from Thunderbird and Verisign not.
3. It is sad to see KMail needs Thunderbird help to correctly handle s/mime
signed mails and almost always fails even with Thunderbird help.
4. It is sad to see that this bug still gains no interest when phishing, scams
and e-frauds appears in mailboxes every day.
