Rick,
MSU's central email system has used encryption since the re-design of
a few years ago. POP, IMAP and the web interface all use encrypted
connections.
The mail isn't encrypted on the mail servers, maybe that is what you
are asking about? I haven't seen a big need for that, at least in
our department.
Perhaps this would be a good reason to suggest not forwarding email
to another system (or to keep all participants within mail.msu.edu).
