 Hi.

 When a server presents an unknown (better said: not verifiable)
 certificate, pidgin/purple just shows (when clicking on the view
 certificate button) it's fingerprint and expiry dates.

 It should give more info, at least issuer/subject, but ideally all
 information from the certificate, just as e.g. Mozilla browsers do it in
 the details of the cert.

 The extension fields often contains important information like DNS names
 (in addition to the CN) or readable information on where to get the
 necessary root-certs.


 Cheers,
 Chris.
