Rich is right - practicaly no one gets a free S/MIME (X.509-RSA) cert from
Thawte et. al.  Those that care about these things are usually PGP and Open
Source oriented.  I think Eudora still supports only PGP.

I never got one.  I just went to Thawte, and, though a couple of links from
the pulldown at the top are broken, and the usual link external sites use
404s, you can, with diligence and forty whack^H^H clicks get to the signup
form.

Has anyone here ever gotten an S/MIME email, encrypted or not?  I haven't.

No web bugs will be nice, but I now see about 5-10% of the educated crowd
deliberately turning on "read as text" in OE on every machine
they use.  OE is everywhere.  I'd like a VBS to do this, BTW, tiny
insignificant minority though I am.
