If you click "Accept the certificate temporarily for this session", it will reappear every time that you read or send mail.

You can display this dialog by clicking the "Examine Certificate" button on the previous dialog. You can also display it at any time by going to "Tools->Options->Advanced" clicking the "Manage Certificates" button, then clicking the "Web Sites" tab. From that menu, you can select and view any of the certificates that you have accepted.
