Encrypt and Decript email using PHP?

[Don]

Is there a way to send an encrypted email from server-side PHP, and then
decrypt it using an email client such as Outlook?

Thanks,
Don

Sure. You can pass the body through PGP and base64-encode it, and include
the appropriate MIME sections to identify it as encoded. You can send an
encoded message from Outlook to your Linux account so you can see what the
format has to look like.

This looks like exactly what I need. One question though, what does the
client have to do to use Outlook or any other email client to read the
encrypted email? I use Netscape's Messenger, how do I read it?

Thanks for your help.

The client will need GPG or PGP installed to be able to read the encrypted
message. Both of these encryption products have plugins for various
different mail clients, including Thunderbird, Netscape Messenger, Mozilla
Mail & News, Outlook, Outlook Express, Evolution and others.

Thanks Toby. Things are starting to make more sense. I think I can start
working on this now.

Thanks again,
Don
