My company seems to have become the default ISP for a lot of law firms wanting low-cost email. Mostly they've pretty much ignored the legal implications of email itself, but I'm now getting beat up by one of the larger firms which wants us to help them ensure email confidentiality through our internal site management policy. I've assured them that email is *not* confidential and that their clients should be told to submit routine confidential correspondence by other means. I'd like to tell them to use PGP. But I'm not aware of any convenient (for the average butter-fingered attorney or clerk), low-cost PGP-enabled email packages for desktop environments (read: Windows boxes hooked up to a Novell cc:Mail network, in 99% of cases). Any suggestions? I could conceivably run some encryption software and a public key server at our site on a Linux box, which would provide a modicum of improved confidentiality vs. having to install new client software everywhere. Wondering if there's anyone here who has actually been able to make real use of PGP, especially in the context of helping novice users put it to work. -rich
