Not just the part I included, but your entire answer. Gmane get'[s fussy about including too much previous text in responses. Sure, I've set up numerous email clients, like Thunderbird and such on doze systems before (encryption or not); that's a no-brainer. Outlook in a rigid corporate environment without the admin's help on that side..... interesting. If their spam filters are too aggressive, it will most likely quarantine the incoming encrypted files. A program of encryption, but makes files look like text to spam filters, would be keen, but most likely crackable, due to the limited char_set? Never tried this but hey, there is ALWAYS a way to "skin the cat"....... But I have never tried to help an ordinary Outlook user get encryption working, so as to exchange encrypted email, with their linux bretheran without their Admin's involvement. Most admins at corps do not care, but they are understaffed and only support what they support. So you have articulated some options where I can help a generic corporate user setup and use encryption, without their admin's involvement, which I guess is what I did not clearly explain in previous posts, as the goal all along, using Outlook or other MS based applications. THANKS; for sharing your knowledge and view of the landscape. I've got it from here. James
