If you have X.509 certifciates (from S/MIME) oth, GPA and Kleopatra,
will show them along with the OpenPGP certifciates.

The GnuPG implementation is independent of the Windows S/MIME
implementation.  Thus you can't see them there unless you export them
from GnuPG and import them into Windows.

The Gpg4win compendium (English beta version) describes this all.
