According to the original source, Mr. Gierczak, the problem is reproductible
with certs generated both with Exchange and Outlook. Unfortunately (or
maybe fortunately) I don't have a single instance of Windows at my place
so I can't check it for myself. The only thing I know is that the Outlook
version was 97. Worth checking would be if the problems appears in older
and never versions of the software?
