It's a binary file containing 3 certificates...my email certificate, an
intermediate Thawte CA certificate, and Thawte's FreeMail root
certificate.  So far, asn1parse is the only openssl command that will
touch it.  Thanks for the offer! :-)  I'm forwarding you a copy
privately.

Not for their Freemail service, AFAIK.  Being free, I suspect they want as
few variables as possible, to minimize support requests.  The only format
option involves choosing a browser type, which they enforce by checking
the User-Agent string.  Without a bit of local hacking, a "Netscape
Certificate Sequence" is my only choice. :-(

Cheers,

Todd
