I'm having the same problem.

I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.2)
Gecko/20010726 Netscape6/6.1 on Windows ME.

I have a personal digital certificate from AddTrust.
The certificate chain is valid!

However, I cannot find anything in the user-interface where I can
actually SIGN or ENCRYPT and email message. In Netscape 4.77 this
was under the "Options" toolbar/menu.

Has this functionally been left out?

Crossposting to *.public groups also can compromise email addresses
making them open game to spam harvesting.
