Thunderbird/Enigmail/GPG *was* my approach but I found that
a) thunderbird did crash a few times where i had set plain text display
only + there was a large html based email
b) the junk option was not really working too well

Then (just to learn more) I went to
fetchmail -> procmail -> (clamav -> spamassasin) -> mutt

This option is so high tech that I lost half my vision editing the
config files.

But despite all the stuff that is out there alot of people still dont
sign/encrypt there email, I use it mainly for emailing passwords around.

I do however like the PGPDisk option that does come w/ PGPDesktop
software, this allows you to create + mount a virtual encrypted "drive"
for storage, have not found a decent option like that for Linux without
gpg encrypting entire files but im sure there is an easier way.

However I must say if *I* was a lawyer and my client wanted email
confidentiality Im sure the softwares purpose will pay for itself over
time and will be worth it due to its Windows friendly nature.

My .01.
