I ran it on Vista, so I could not use the wizard to create a certificate. Of course this version doesnt yet support Vista officially. As far as I can see the recipient has to download a certificate to see the message directly. If they dont have it they can forward the message to comodo and then you get a link to see the un encrypted message.
Not knowing anything about technique behind this feature so I guess it comes down to if you trust Comodo or not. But it displayed the encrypted message when I clicked the link.
Sounds a little bit less troublsome then pgp public keys imo
