Re: Using "Security" in Outlook Email

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


There is a Security tab in Outlook (Tools/Options/Security) and it has
options to supposedly encrypt an email. I've tried with no luck. I pick an
encryption type and assign passwords for Open and Modify and send it and it
opens without prompting for any password(s) so what a I missing here ? Do
you actually have to have an encryption cert ? It lets you pick one for a
list so I was assuming it found one ?


I think you need to get a digital certificate to use that ... which
isn't cheap.

Personally, when I need to secure something, I use PGP (via the Enigmail
Thunderbird extension).
