<pre wrap="">Enigmail's your badger for signing/encrypting in Thunderbird with GPG or
S/Mime.</pre>

I'm just coming up to speed on this so please excuse a basic question
or two. I installed Enigmail which prompted to install GnuPG which I
have done. I generated a key (didn't bother with a passphrase) for me.
I can now successfully send myself encrypted messages! The next
question is do I need to generate a certificate for every member of the
company? How do I share these certificates. Surely emailing them out
will invalidate their security?<br>

<pre wrap="">I can offer nothing more than agreement with Steve's comments. Perhaps
only that I've recently heard back from an experiment to determine how
Vista's version of OE deals with PGP/MIME signed email. I can confirm
that it's still buggered!
So OE and Windows live mail are the only two email clients I know of
that don't display PGP/MIME signatures correctly.

Only one person uses Outlook Express at present, and she's pretty taken
with Thunderbird so I don't think that'll be any major problem. I'm
determined to get my boss to appreciate the benefits of opensource. You
should have seen his expression when I told him it was all free with
unlimited licenses!<br>
