Which means you should really have important email mailed to you already
encrypted.  You can do this in Netscape (or IE) using S/MIME (get a free
certificate from http://www.thawte.com/) or in other using mail clients
using PGP or GPG.  On the Mac (and Windows?) you can also use PGP in Eudora
and Claris Emailer.
