If you truly wish to use S/MIME I highly recommend CAcert as a source to
obtain a Free Certificate.  You will also need to download their Root
Certificate into your Certificate Manager as they are not Universally
supplied with most software.

In order to establish Trust you will need to meet with Assurers to prove
your identity. (This is also true with Thawte & the others)  However,
since the vast majority of CAcert Notaries are also PGP/GnuPG users,
getting your Key signed at the same time is no problem.  CAcert will
also sign your PGP Key as well, indicating the level of attained trust.
