I think the actual solution is the Paypal approach. All of the actual
messaging happens on a web site, and the mail only says there's something
new on the web site, take a look.
For example, that is how I exchange messages with my doctor. It works pretty well.
I think that actual secure mail would be swell, but after 30 years of it not
happening, I'm not holding my breath.
R's,
