Full on encryption may be overkill. However simply signing may be useful 
as it would allow you to verify that the sender is who they say they are 
and that the message wasn't tampered with along the way (including 
viruses being attached).

Sending signed to customers should be done with caution if they might be 
using Outlook Express as they may grumble about the presentation of the 
emails.
