Although not listed on the Microsoft website as a provider of digital ID
certificates for Office 2007 on this page:
https://digitalid.verisign.com/enrollment/MS_pcmp.htm
Verisign is indeed a provider. Special instructions have to be followed
when requesting a certificate with Vista/IE7 which are listed on the top of
the certificate enrollment page.

Also special instructions for installing a certificate in various version of
Outlook including Outlook 2007 are here:
http://www.verisign.com/support/digital-id-support/page_dev029379.html
Certificate costs are $20/year but you can get a 60 day free trial to try it
out.
The certificate allows for both:
1. Digital signing.
2. Encrypted email (the receipient of the email must have a certificate as
well).
The encrypted email is very important for sending secure information
including credit care numbers, social security numbers, and patient medical
information. Some people send secure information such as this without
encryption but they should not.
