I didn't see the original post but i would like to make a quick note to
the original poster that edi over mime is already in the works and has
been for some time now.  And the security it will use is whatever
standard exists for encrypting mime mail (i think this is in the works
also).  The company i used to work for is in one of the groups doing
interoperability testing.

You could try emailing johnh@apiltd.demon.co.uk
he could at least tell you where to look for more information.
