You can get free e-mail certs from Thawte (who got bought by Verisign).
When you first get them, the only identification provided within your
cert (the public key that you give to others) is your e-mail address
because that was the only piece of info that could be verified at the
time. They have their Web of Trust (WOB) scheme to use their "notaries"
to increse the amount of info in your cert. I believe the freemail
certs are good for one year, then you just go get another one (or do so
beforehand and void the old one).

I had a cert from Thawte a couple of years and isps ago. When I returned
recently to get another I got caught up in their [we have another similar
person] thing of which I explained this to them and gave a hotmail address.
It may have been the same address they had!
I still have the ticket# and am waiting to here back, but nothing for a week
now.
