I've seen the article... It reflects real and valid criticisms of both 
Microsoft's implementation of SMIME in Outlook (not displaying the 
actual email address), and with Thawte's freemail certificate service.

I believe that Thawte has improved that service, so that they'll only 
grant you a certificate if you prove that you can receive email sent to 
the address that you indicate.
