Subject: [SLUG] OT: GPG for Windows (Outlook)?

Hi All,

Slightly off-topic, but I figured there's probably someone here who has
done this.  First, a little background.  Our corporate mail filter
system blocks password protected zip files.  The rationale is that if we
can't check it for viruses, you don't get to see it either.  However,
there *IS* an exception - if your message is encrypted (GPG/PGP, etc) we
will let it through - it's very unlikely to be virused (yet).

Now, the situation at hand: a user needs to get some sensitive data
(files) from an external source but the external source insists the only
way to do this securely is with a passworded zip.  This is creating a
problem (see above).  Now, I use GPG+Kmail and can encrypt/sign/decrypt
messages etc in a tightly integrated interface.  Life is good - the mail
filter gives me no grief.

My Question to the group: is there some sort of plug-in for Outlook
(F/OSS
preferred) users that provides similar integration.  I've looked at PGP
but the external user (the sender) doesn't want to spend that much $$$
on it, so I'm back to square one.  I told them to run Linux too - but I
was laughed at (idiots).

Any help or suggestions are welcome :)

Cheers,

James
