| It's actually a gpg signature, but they are approximately equivalent
| from a basic usage standpoint. Does Outlook have any support for pgp,
| which has both commercial and (IIRC) free windows versions? If not, you
| _should_ (it's been many years since I used pgp and Eudora) be able to
| install it on your MS box, save signed emails, and use the pgp tools to
| verify emails outside of the mail client.
|
While you can certainly get the freeware version of PGP, it won't have
the Outlook/Outlook Express/Eudora plugins. A better bet might be to
install GPG (http://www.gnupg.org) and something like GPGshell or WinPT
(http://www.nullify.org/links.html) which would allow you to perform
gpg-oriented operations from the Windows file and/or clipboard level
(i.e., select the text in your email client and copy to clipboard, then
use GPGshell to decrypt/verify clipboard contents). This is actually
much more stable than plugin support provided by the licensed PGP version!

If you're looking for some automated ways to accept incoming encrypted
mails, etc., check out PGP::Mail. You can also use something like
PGP::Sign or GPGrelay to sign all outbound mail if you prefer to do it
without messing with your MUA.
