It's already so. Use PGP. Taking a point from my earlier response, anyone administering the mail server that is relaying your mail (i.e., the mail server at the company where a friend works) can read and store your emails regardless of whether the channel used to communicate the email was protected using TLS/SSL. --- Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Puryear Information Technology Windows, UNIX, and IT Consulting http://www.puryear-it.com
