Can I password protect an e-mail message?

[MrsTFB]

Can I set an e-mail message with a password to prohibit it from being opened by anyone else?

I could create a folder with a password and move my private e-mails into that folder if that is possible.

Thanks in advance,

You would probably have better luck sending a password protected document as an attachment.

You could always pull down PGP, from the web.

I appreciate your reply. However, I don't even know what PGP is!?!?! I feel goofy to ask, I bet it's common. Could you please explain it to me.

Thanks for your patience with someone still learning.

Thats OK,

PGP - Pretty Good Privacy.. Its freely avaiable email encryption method. The recipient will also need it installed as well, and the "key" that you have assigned to de-encrypt the email. If you search for "pgp" in any search engine you will find loads of download locations.

Although the password protected, word document, is a bit of a top idea..!!!
