is. . . a Thawte email encryption certificate. It gets distributed with a .exe extension, but somehow Keychain Access is the known handler. Pretty cool. It's recommended that people encrypt their email when possible because unencrypted email is similar to sending everything out on post cards.

Nice catch. I've also noticed that when I updated TurboTax, the updater files all have the .exe extension as well.
The extension ofcourse makes no difference on a mac. You could name any application .exe and it could still work fine. I didn't see any .exe files for the mac, but have often bumped into them on linux (for some weird reason).
