Greg Hi Greg, I'd recommend pgp, it's really secure, I mean *really* secure, go to: http://www.pgp.com/ Make sure you go to .com and not .org, hehehe, you get some community site in Texas. Also, PGP will integrate with Pine and other things, so you can send encripted files to others, once you've gsent them your key that is. The only thing is, you may want to read up on public key cryptography if you haven't done so already, neat system imho.
