It also sounds a lot like what a range of vendors have been doing since maybe
the late 1990s to secure-email-enable users who can't handle secure email as a
desktop app (decrypt on the server, read via an SSL'd web page). Didn't PGP
Anywhere do something similar to this? Is it cool if it's PGP but epic fail
if it's Windows?
Peter.
