does anyone know of any cheap and easily available encryption programs for e-mails? so that someone can send an e-mail to, say zambesia (random country) and only they and the person who's meant to receive it can read it?

You couldn't email the password of course but you could make it the answere to a question or questions that only the recipient would know the answer to.

All the Microsoft Outlook products has a encryption option for email.
I'm not sure how secure this encryption is though.
Personally i would not touch any interent product vaguely associated with microsoft. i ahve a hard time using excel and its the best product of its type on the market. Does anyone no a better one ?

My cousin's husband...
(No not my brother's sister's girlfriend who saw Timmy saturday at the movies who said that he aunt's niece who was taking a computer course...)
anyway, he works at the Pentagon in the IT Department (for one of the other departments but he won't tell me which one.) well he suggests PGP. He said it works pretty well. I've never used it but it has something to do with giving the recipient a key that unlocks the encryption so that only they can read it.
Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out. I think it's free too. 😉
