HI

This is a great conversation...

In regards to sending password protected zip files, I am aware of several spam 
filters that inspect the contents of zip files and if the file is password 
protected it is blocked..

Problem: we want to ensure that a third party can't read our emails.
Solution: give those emails to a third party to put on the web.

The user-unfriendly forms of encryption are unfriendly because they work. If it 
doesn't have to work, I can make it real friendly =)

A password-protected zip file works just as well as using a third party.
You still have the (unsolvable) problem of getting the password to the 
recipient in a secure way, but at least you haven't given away the thing that 
you're trying to keep secret. (How would you get the webpage password to the 
recipient? Do that.)
