Does anyone sign and encrypt your email?
I was just intrested in signing my emails (no need to encrypt it) and wondered how to get my emails signed. I don't want to hassle the recipients that I send the email to, that's why I just want to sign my emails.
How do I go about getting my emails signed? |

| I don't know what the Outlook 2003 DRM features will do for you with that respect, but it might be something to look at. |

Yes, like a Digital ID Nikkol. I checked verisign but I don't see anything about creating a personal certificate on thier site. I assume you need a security certificate from one of these CA's (certified authorities) install it and then you would be able to sign your emails.
I tried Thawte, but they require a lot of personal info (although I do trust them).
I had heard PGP did this, but their software isn't free. They have a free version but it doesn't allow you to sign your emails. |

Really? I thought pgp is free for personal use. And I see many email clients have pgp integration/plug-ins including outlook.
There's a patent free application like pgp, GnuPG, which could be found on pgpi's site. it's still in development though.
http://www.pgpi.org/
Btw, when pgp was prohibited by the US government to export, some people printed the code, export the papers, then scan them and made a version called pgpi (international version) which is legal.

PGP?Personal Desktop
PGP Personal Desktop provides secure messaging and information storage for individuals using mainstream email and instant messaging applications through personal Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who do not require enterprise features or access to higher levels of support. This single-user product includes the personal versions of PGP Mail and PGP Disk, which integrate with mainstream email applications (Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Entourage, and Apple Mail), but does not support corporate messaging platforms such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, or Novell GroupWise.

oops. I'm sorry for the mistake. then you can try http://www.gnupg.org/
there's no gui from the author, but you may find a plug in for your email client.
