If a user is trying to authenticate himself with an SSL web server, he 
needs to present a valid personal certificate, I understand. But what if 
the purpose of the client certificate is not valid? I mean, for one 
user's certificate, Mozilla SeaMonkey reports: "This certificate has 
been verified for the following uses: Email Signer Certificate and Email 
Recipient Certificate". Will an SSL web server accept such a client 
certificate for authenticating an SSL web connection?
