Binary package hint: evolution

I'm trying to import contact certificates. It looks like import was done but evolution does not show the new certificate in the list.
The test certificate is attached.

It seems that evolution no longer imports public keys when it receives a signed email message. In addition, it shows a valid and trusted certificate as being untrusted. (I have the root signing certificate installed and marked as trusted for all three uses.) This used to work flawlessly.

thank you for your bug report, that seems to be an upstream issue, could you report the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org?

In my case, although I can't see the certificate, all the functionality is working. I can check signatures, encrypt and the s/mime public certificate get automatically imported.

I added a bug report to gnome's bugzilla:
