That has got to be one of the worst shameless plugs I've seen in a while. Instead of spreading untruths about other 
products why not just tell us why yours is better?
The corporate versions of PGP have full control over keys so that you can add/remove/revoke etc. There are also PKI 
services that will give you the same kind of capabilities with S/MIME.
If I was the person asking for help I'd be sure to strike your company off the list.

P.S. Oh yeah, "Why would you install software in a company that breaks laws, and cripples the company, legally?" I 
can't think of anyone who would want to do this. If that's your gimmick you might find that calling your potential 
customers stupid doesn't work so well.

Why would you install software in a company that breaks laws, and cripples the company, legally?

S/MIME and PGP lock company data into the hands of individuals - definitely bad news!
Voltage isn't much better.

Problems occur when staff leave but don't unlock their data, password/key changes means older emails are not accessible 
anymore and blackmail opportunities et al are created by using such software.

Consider Key2Mail instead - provided the requested functionality, and allows the company to meet the law.
