I have some certificates through RapidSSL, and when they send me reminders to renew, the e-mails come with this warning:

"Your certificate is due to expire.

If your certificate expires, your site will no longer be encrypted."

Just blatantly false.

They might as well say something even more ominous: "If your certificate expires, your site will no longer be accessible."

Of course, we know that's not true either, but try explaining to your visitors how to bypass the security warning (newer browsers sure don't make it obvious, even if you know to look for it).
