I would never recommend anyone to have third-party hold the private key.
Privates should stay private. :)

Have you looked at GPG ? http://www.gnupg.org/

It has multi-platform support and is free.
There is a windows-based software using GPG called GPG4Win (
http://www.gpg4win.org/ ) that provides encryption, email software and
includes an Outlook plugin.
I've used it in the recent past and it seemed to do the job nicely.
