Thank you, for this URL.

I am stuck at _Get a copy of your own personal key & associated cert_,
where the example is *only* for Internet Exploder ;<

Anyway, I went to Thawte <http://thawte.com> to get their _free_ email
certificate.  However, using Mozilla under Debian, the certificate is
now sucked into Mozilla, and I do not know how to get it out and use it
in mutt, as per your URL's subsequent instructions.

Also, as per my original post, how do I manage other people's
certificates like I do with gpg/pgp and keyrings?

What do you think?
