Chris,

I am with the others.  if you are sending that type of info, you don't
really want it residing on hard drives unencrypted.  a .pst file is
unencrypted.  most email servers don't store the data encrypted by default.

I know my company uses datamotion for what you are talking about.  They had
an app that went into outlook, but we chose to forbid this as alot of users
forgot to click the "other" send button.  I believe my company

Another option is Frontbridge.  It is MS owned and support sucks as would be
expected, but the way it works is kinda cool.  you can send all your
outbound email though them.  if the email has what ever catch phrase in what
ever part specified, you can have them encrypt it and hold in on their
servers for the end user to log in and check it.

Hope that helps some with your search.
