This *isn't* a claws-mail bug, but it showed up while trying to
have claws-mail present a user-certificate to a Dovecot server.
(this is the certificate you put in the mailer config in
the "TLS/SSL" page). I got a certificate and private key in
a .pem file; worked fine with s_client; but handshake failed with
claws.
After much bug tracking with claws-mail --debug, setting
the env value GNUTLS_DEBUG_LEVEL, and gdb, it turns out
to be a problem in libetpan when working with gnuTLS >2.12.
With a minor fix to libetpan, now things work, at least
for .pem certificates. My next step is to send a patch
to the person in charge of libetpan.
