Fixed S/MIME interoperability between KDE KMail and Mozilla Thunderbird
Nelson Bolyard fixed interoperability problem between Thunderbird and KMail (or rather gpgsm). There was a bug in how gpgsm encoded cipher preferences, which Thunderbird could not understand and was falling back to RC2/40 cipher. In gpgsm, RC2/40 was not implemented for patently political
reasons. Thunderbird crypto library was made more lenient in what it accepted. So, now, TB would correctly responds to KMail using 3DES instead of RC/40. More details are in Bugzilla and Usenet.
Still causing minor problems are the following bugs. Vote for or fix them!
