I did try to use that at some point. I was turned off by the fact that 
existing clients (Messenger 4.x, maybe also Outlook [Express]) on the 
recipient side boldly mark my certificate as INVALID in the UI. This 
scares recipients too much - not workable.

(This, once again, shows which responsibility we have by having so many 
users - one error might cripple a whole standard for years.)
