Sure.  Im running Windows XP SP1 (I didn't have any linux CD's to hand 
when I had to rebuild), The mail client is Thunderbird 0.9, The 
certificate is Issued by Thawte.  There is no extra extension or plugin 
needed for use of the certificate, it's a default config.  PC is just a 
Sony laptop, I'm sure that won't make any difference to the equasion.

The email server runs Fedora Core 1 (I will be moving this to a 
dedicated, Debian based mail server in the next few weeks).  The MTA is 
qmail with the qmail-scanner modification to allow my incomming mail to 
be scanned by ClamAV, SpamAssassin, and RBL checkes are applied.

Hope that helps.
