In Outlook's case (although the problem exists with some Netscape messaging client and a recent Eudora as well), the self-signed certificate has been installed into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. That said, I'd be more than happy to hear that this is just a Wintendo problem and nothing to do with the Unix components. The murmurings I've read from the Wintendo community aren't convincing. Also, I'm loath to continue discussing the issue on this list, since it's off-topic. I'd rather solicit advice sent in private. Ciao, Sheldon.
