Re: Encrypted emails

[tod <tytand04 () yahoo com>]

I have a similar problem. I need to identify a secure
solution which numerous contractors can use to
communcate with each other and with my org on a
project for the next 2 years.

Many contractors organizations don't support secure
mail, or use yahoo (like me!) and the admins wouldn't
set up PKI in any reasonable time frame. 

I'm looking for something like a shared single key
encryption solution that the vendors could all use.
