           Summary: SMIME Certificate with more than "one" EMail Attribute
                    results in warning about unsure trust state
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.9
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: tkrah fachschaft imn htwk-leipzig de


Version:           1.9.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

If you got a smime certificate with two or more email attributes in the subject, kmail issues everytime you want to sign or encrypt something a warning about an unsure trust state of the certificate used, which looks like: 

CN=User,EMAIL=x.x x x,EMAIL=y y y y

The warning is:

##############################
Eines oder mehrere der gewählten OpenPGP-Schüssel oder S/MIME-Zertifikate sind nicht voll vertrauenswürdig.
Bei den folgenden Schlüsseln oder Zertifikaten ist der Grad der Vertrauenswürdigkeit unklar: 
##############################

Thats a valid cert and i am trusting the issuer.
Using a certificate from the same issuer which looks like this:

CN=User,EMAIL=x.x x x

works without any warning.
Why kmail does complain about smime certs, which got more than one email address? Is there a workaround yet or need this bug some code fix?
