To clarify my earlier questions:

0.  My contacts do use Thawte to get certs for outlook.  But....

1.  What if one doesn't use Netscape or Outlook?  I'm perfectly happy
with my MUA.  I'd just like to be able to exchange encrypted mail with
outlook users.  I don't want to start to learn a whole new MUA.
Especially not a sucky, bloated, GUI-laden one....

Thanks!
