application/x-x509-user-cert is the MIME type for certs for which you
have generated the keypair (that's how Netscape behaves when presented
with this content type)  -- other people's personal certs are used
only for S/MIME.

To load other people's certs into Netscape, present them with this
MIME type:

        application/x-x509-email-cert
