Well, it wasn't intended to be, however I don't see why it can't be.

The first question that you have to answer is which platform you're on. If
you're on Windows, or the Mac, use PGP (at least version 6.5.8, or is 6.8.5?
Use the very latest). If you're on any variety of UNIX (including Linux), use
GPG.

PGP is at http://www.pgp.com (follow the links for the free download).
GPG is at http://www.gnupg.com

On Windows or the Mac, you should have Eudora installed (highly recommended,
anyway). On Linux, while many mailers CAN support GPG, I recommend mutt... My,
I'm already degenerating into a series of if then statements :)

How about this: I'll try and put something together tonight which has more and
better info than a short email.
