convinced me that ``The "official" solution was to send all important communications in a password-encrypted Microsoft Word document — not quite the solution expected of an IT organization.'' was the right solution! And that before people are going to start using encryption, we need to make it a lot easier!

  Dear Mr. Bernier,
  
  Many thanks for your contribution to this topic. It is an indirect reminder of how desperately email needs an easier-to-use encryption capability.
  
  I would dearly love to regularly use encrypted mail, and think I might just manage to get my Windows head around the Linux techniques you detail. However, I fear few of my correspondants would be so lucky.
  
  Market opportunity for the Open Source Community: simpler GUI access to encrypted email. If I appear to seek "burger flipping" solution to a "rocket science" problem, guilty as charged.
  
  Links to such projects, FAQ and HOWTO welcome.
  
  Best regards,
  
  Russell
