No they do not
CSE uses a single use Certs. The recipient has to have CSE installed and be registered for a cert.

How it works… receiving – Installing SecureEmail using Outlook, Outlook Express or Thunderbird:

  1. The encrypted e-mail is received.
  2. The recipient installs Comodo SecureEmail.
  3. SecureEmail checks to see if the recipient has an e-mail certificate.
    a. If the recipient does not have an e-mail certificate then SecureEmail will not be able to download the single-use public and private key until they sign up for a Comodo e-mail certificate.
    b. If recipient already has an e-mails certificate
    i. SecureEmail connect via SSL and client authentication, authenticating to the recipients e-mail address
    ii. If the authentication is successful then the single-user certificate and private key are downloaded securely.
    iii. The e-mail is decrypted with the private key and then encrypted (depending on SE options) for the recipient’s permanent e-mail certificate.
    iv. On the next Send and Receive SecureEmail will prompt the user to send their permanent e-mail certificate to the sender so from this point forward, permanent PKI based certificates will be used for communications.

Note: If the reciever is not registered with the Comodo Cert Servers they reciever just recieves a digitally signed email.

Hope this helps
