A couple of years ago I got a program called ENCRYPT from Wesleyan and have
had it here for a while.  It hasn't been used much until now, but we recently
had a user who wnated to mail encrypted text and asked if this could be built
in directly into mail.  ENCRYPT generates mail-like headers, which potentially
allows decryption on the fly, and might lend itself to incorporation into a
mail package.

Any thoughts on whether this might be something you would consider for the
PMDF user agent, or whether other mailers might support encryption (or
security-enhanced mail, as ENCRYPT calls it).
