I'm new to OpenCA.  I looked through the archives a bit for an answer to
this question, but the search interface for this list on SourceForge is
down.

If you set up a CA for an organisation using OpenCA, is there any way to
have its root certificate signed by one of the CAs who are hard-coded
into Netscape and MSIE, so that the certificates of members of the
organisation who send email to external parties will be valid?  I don't
just mean is this technically possible, I also mean is there one of
those lucky hard-coded signers who will be willing to do that?

I had a look at Thawte and Verisign's Web sites, but although they do
offer a PKI service where you can create your own certs for your
organisation, this is done using their system not using your own OpenCA
system, so you are paying them for each cert you issue.  This is not
what I had in mind, I had in mind that you just pay them *once* to
certify yourself as a CA, and then you issue your own certificates from
there.
