Details
When receiving a signed email, if the email adress does not match the
certificate content, a question mark will be shown over the security icon.
The Message Security will display a warning text about the non-matching email,
and a button to see the cert details.
The change request is :
- add a button to enable to manually trust this cert with this email from now :
This would create an entry in the cert db associating the cert with the email,
even if the email does not appear in he cert.
As a result :
- in the future, email coming from this adress with this cert would be trusted
and not display the question mark anymore.
- it would be possible to send encrypted messages to this email using this cert.
This would implement a request that can be found in the comments of bug 30883.

This would be usefull feature. Here we have support@ourdomain that forwards
to all IT department. When someone from us replies not personally (from:
support@...) and signs the message this will cause warning. We can use a new
certificate for support@.., but I prefer everyone using his own - you can see
who replayed (we have signatures for this purpose, but), sharing a certificate
between users is bad for me.
PS: If this is implemented at some point, there should be UI to remove such
"valid email <-> certificate" pairs.
