            Bug ID: 369358
           Summary: you cannot encrypt to an expired S/MIME certificate
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.1.3
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: crypto
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kolAflash at kolahilft.de

Same as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339087 which is for PGP, but this
time for S/MIME.

KMail does not allow to encrypt to expired certificates. It is OK to warn about
that (and would be a failure not to do so) but not allowing to encrypt to this
key is a severe security failure because it does not make any sense and forces
the user to use a different key (if available, usually not) or to send the mail
unencrypted.

Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
Mail can't be sent.

Expected Results:  
Warning which can be overridden.
