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). -John LIR On May 25, 2007, at 8:52 AM, R E Klingensmith wrote: > I had a button pushed the other day has been gnawing at me ever > since.
