    Sure - I use both the plugin and GPP.
    http://www3.gdata.de/gpg/download.html
    http://www.gnupp.com/index.html

    The gdata plugin doesn't decrypt mail with null ids,
    that's when I cut & paste to winpt.
    Install the plugin first since gnupp has a newer gpg.
    Bear in mind that development appears to have ceased in 2002,
    and that there have been reports of vulnerabilities.
    Hopefully, someone will get thunderbird working with exchange,
    perhaps using code from Xim^H^H^H Novell Evolution.

    Alternately, you may prefer to create your own
    Certification Authority and mint your own certificates:
    http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO/
    has clear instructions on using openssl under unix/linux to
    create appropriate certificates for a variety of purposes
    including specific instructions for a pkcs12 file to import
    into Outlook (section 3.2.2).
    Since the CA private key is a 'key to the kingdom', the usual
    paranoia applies: if you're using this for any serious
    purpose I'd recommend OpenBSD on a dedicated (second hand?)
    machine *without* networking.

    Hi all,

    I currently am using Thunderbird with Enigmail so that I can digitally
    sign and encrypt e-mail. Since there are only two of us that use
    Thunderbird in our organization, I would like to find a way to use PGP
    from within Outlook. I am aware that Outlook supports digital IDs from
    Geotrust and Verisign, but I would like to find something that will let
    our students participate in using the digital signatures without having
    to pay for one and with the adjunct faculty we hire on a per semester
    basis, the benefit of using digital signatures would be overcome by the
    cost.

    Does anybody know of a way to do this for free?
