(Keywords: regression, Whiteboard: [kerh-bra])

When OCSP is enabled in the mail application, and a receipient's email encryption cert specifies an OCSP responder, it is not possible to send an encrypted message. The attempt to send such an message results in an error message: "Tnternal failure - unable to complete OCSP operation" The same error message is displayed when using "view security info" to display information about recipient certs. The problem is similar to the issue already fixed in bug 329990.

Not going to block 1.8.1 for OCSP, but we'd definitely welcome low-risk patches.
Flags: blocking1.8.1? → blocking1.8.1-
When working on this issue, we should address bug 353542 and bug 353544 at the same time.

A solution for the trunk is available in bug 353597. I do not have a low risk solution for the stable 1.8 branch at this time.
No longer blocks: 353542, 353544
Depends on: 353597
Problem on 1.8 branch (FF2) only.
Summary: OCSP: Unwind S/Mime recipient cert verification from UI thread → OCSP: Can not send encrypted message with OCSP enabled
Version: Trunk → 1.8 Branch
QA Contact: s.mime
Product: Core → MailNews Core
Even simple signed message is not possible to send until clearing the certificate for encryption.
According to my testing, this appears to work in Thunderbird 17. This could have been fixed by the changes from bug 674147.
