He also explains how to work around the problem, if you want, for instance, text documents created with BBEdit to open in BBEdit even when TextEdit is the default handler for text files."

As Glenn Fleishman writes in TidBITS, Quicken doesn't gracefully ignore extra information in EV certificates as older Web browsers do, but instead throws an error and refuses to download transactions. Intuit says they're working on a fix, but users may have to wait "a couple of months," and even then the fix may not be applied to versions before Quicken 2007."
