if let the user install the certificate through the browser, then it seems
to be working fine. but if i email the certificate to the user and he double
clicks it and installs it in his Personal store, then it does not show up in
IE under Content--> Certifcates! why is that? I ideally would like to email
the users their certificates mainly because the CA server would not be
available online.

TIA,
Param
