Still requires receiver to install special software, which is the fatal flaw in email encryption adoption.

In my small business I need to encrypt maybe 1 out of 20 email that I send. I don't have an IT dept. The benefit I want is to send the email from my computer, to the receiving computer, and I want the receiver to be able to open my message without installing special software. I spent weeks trying different solutions, and finally just began encrypting files in zip format. Then I found Messagelock (http://www.encryptomatic.com) which encrypts my Outlook email and attachments into a zip file. Anyone with Winzip installed can access the contents of my message, without special software.

For anyone who's got a small shop but who needs to get a message from A to B securely, check out MessageLock. For me it provides 98% of the benefit that I need, with about 1/100th of the hassle of PGP.

Interesting perspective. I always enjoy looking back at how the experts said the year would turn out, especially the stock market, and compare that to how the market actually did. Looking back shows me that when it comes to investing, my guess is as good as anyone else's. I blog about it at http://mymountain.blogspot.com/2005/12/prosperi...
