Hi Stefan,

well... what is a trusted and a untrusted CA?
Is a CA really trusted just about the fact it is "build in" in a browser
or mail client?
Is a not included CA really untrusted?

I think it is more a personal decision than anything else.

The past few years showed us very good examples why "trusted" CA are not
much better that so called untrusted ones.
And for personally .. i think i can for example trust the CA CAcert much
more than a CA which is located in China or Turkey.

So isf someone is iporting a root certificate of any CA he shows that he
is trusting this CA - not more not less
