Erm, I use the godaddy certs multiple domain certs (cheap...) and I 
certainly use this ok in Apple mail and Thunderbird.  I *thought* I had 
tried on Outlook/Outlook Express, but I might be mistaken?

I have seen people saying these certs work ok on the windows handheld 
devices, so if windows stuff supports them then things are looking up!  
My Nokia N97 isn't throwing up any complaints using starttls either.

Possibly we are talking cross purposes though - connect to 
mail.mailasail.com and examine the cert there and if you wish I can give 
you an account on there to try from various clients? (erk, better go 
check my cert hasn't expired now I told you to look...).

Good luck
