This will enable the sender to encrypt the email content before the same is transmitted through the existing SMTP commands. This requires the MUA to be a full MTA not just an MSA passing off outbound traffic to a real MTA, Not the current usual architecture. It also doesn't work with traditional-forwarding, I think, unless the forwarder decrypts and re-encrypts. -- Cheers, Jeremy
