10.3: Another how-to...
Reader "FlashBIOS" sent the following in as a new hint (after this hint was submitted, but before it was published), but it's pretty much the same process as described in the link above. I'm posting it here just in case the source link ever goes away.
-rob. ---------- Panther's Mail application makes it possible to encrypt and digitally sign all your email without any extra effort using the industry standard S/MIME and a free email key from Thawte. This is important because it is very easy for other people to read your mail without your knowing. Getting this set up requires a few steps, but afterwards all the security happens behind the scenes and requires no extra effort. First follow these steps to set up completely secure email (note: you must be using Mozilla or Navigator, not Safari, Camino, or Firebird):
To test everything compose a message to yourself. You will see both the sign and encrypt buttons checked. After you have sent and received the message back you'll see a new security line telling you that it has been encrypted and signed. But here is the cool part -- under the View menu choose Message > Raw Source. Mail will then show you the cyphertext that everyone who does not have your private key sees.
And now you know your mail can be secured and you can have private conversations with anyone who has sent you a signed message.

I also found a way to generate your own certs using openssl. You have to do a few extra steps but it works great with Mail.app. I outlined the directions here:
