PGP has a dreadful reputation for usability, be prepared for a significant support burden if you take that route. You could always try omitting details from the email but providing a link: "You have 4 books due tomorrow, click here and login to see the details" kind of thing. That in conjunction with a local techie checking your email sending settings. cheers stuart -- ...let us be heard from red core to black sky On Sat, Oct 29, 2016 at 12:15 PM, Jim Hart <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Depending on the client, the default security may be something other than > PGP.
