Speaking of Enigmail, is it (v0.96) borked for anyone other than me?
For some reason it cannot find the path to GnuPG on my Vista laptop.  I
input the path manually and it still doesn't execute gpg.exe.  I have to
roll back to 0.95.7.

Getting back to the original topic, I would use 7-zip w/ AES-256
encryption if you have to send the file to a fairly unsophisticated
group of users.  Getting them to install 7-zip is probably easy, but
transmitting the key securely would be the hardest part.  Picking a
strong key may be discouraged if you plan to call the recipient on the
phone and read a long string random characters.  Even more so if you
distribute the file among a large group of users.

GPG is better if you are sending the file(s) to users who know what they
are doing.  GPG4WIN should also have a plug-in for Outlook integration.
 I've never tried it though.
