I just noticed this icon I have never seen before in Thunderbird and I am wondering what it is:
Hovering over it doesn't tell me anything. Can anyone provide any insight?
Icons in this place show that the message was encrypted and/or digitally signed using S/MIME.
The red cross icon means that there's a problem with the certificate used to sign this message (e.g. it was expired, or otherwise cannot be verified). Click on the envelope to see the details.
