Hi,

The cert of the CA has expired. I've  renewed the CA cert using:

   openssl x509 -in cacert-old.pem -days 3650 -enddate -out cacert.pem
-signkey private/cakey.pem

I've also deleted the old CA cert from the mail client (thunderbird) and
install the 
new CA cert. My existing personal cert seems to be validated by this new CA
cert 
just fine.

However, thunderbird thinks that the existing mails signed by my personal
cert 
are invalid because "the certificate used to sign the message was issued by
a 
certificate authority that you do not trust for issuing this kind of
certificate".

Is this the normal behavior or I did not renew the CA cert properly?

I did notice that the new CA cert uses  sha1WithRSAEncryption as the
signature
algorithm while the old one uses md5WithRSAEncryption. Is this the problem?
If so, how to correct it?

Thanks!
