If you're worried that people might be reading your email, use PGP to encrypt
it so that only its intended recipient can read it.
The mathematics behind public-key cryptography are quite complex, but using
PGP is much easier. It integrates with Windows, and allows you to easily encrypt
and decrypt files.
It also works seamlessly with most email clients, letting you encrypt and
decrypt messages on the fly. You type in a 'pass phrase' which the computer uses
to generate a pair of keys. You use public keys to encrypt a message, and
private keys to decrypt them.
Alternatively (or in addition) you can 'sign' a message with your key to
prove that it came from you. The recipient can check the signature against a
public database.
Don't worry if this all sounds confusing, as the program takes care of it
all. You just click a button and type in your pass phrase.
PGP went commercial from v9 onwards and this is a time-limited demo.
