Just FYI, MSFT now allows users outside North America to download the 128
bit crypto upgrades to MSIE (or more precisely to MSFT CAPI, thereby
automatically enabling Outlook Express and any other software using CAPI).
It is easy:
o open MSIE
o select "About" from the Help menu.
o note the "Cipher Strength". If it says anything other than 128 bits, click
on the "Update Information" link in the same line.
o follow the prompts (which amounts to clicking "Next" a few times).
Enjoy,
