Amen Brother! I'm just thinking that if I have to go through setting up email I may as well do it in a reasonably secure way. Skipping the lawyer discussions on monitoring/capturing stored communications vs live communications ... If you don't store your email/files/whatever on a remote system you don't have to secure the storage, only the communication. This is still a difficult problem but there are reasonably good solutions for this. Cheers, John J.
