Because Claws Mail presents unknown (and changed) certificates to the user, it
is a feature and not something we wish to change.

Claws Mail is neither Thunderbird, Sylpheed, Geary or any other MUA than Claws
Mail.

What is included are the root Certificate Authorities certificates, used to
sign the certificates that servers present, and required for checking the
validity of these certificates.

Nobody ships a database of hosts SSL certificates.

Also, please don't reopen bugs that have been closed unless you have been
invited to do so.
