S/MIME has been around for a long time and is on the way to becoming an IETF standard. It is not program-specific; any program that claims to support S/MIME should work with the standard certificates. I usually get a separate certificate for each email account because it's easier to manage them that way and that's the way the free certificates are normally given out. I think the only other person on this list who uses S/MIME is Bill Rising. Bill, what do you do? Many of my acquaintances and family members have certificates and we can send encrypted email to each other. Otherwise, any man in the middle could read our email, thereby exposing our nefarious cabal. With strong S/MIME encryption, I doubt even the NSA can read what we write.
