Hi Eleanor,

PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy, and it's used for encryption as well
as electronic signing. You generate your own keys using a passphrase,
and use that passphrase to generate a signature, which could only come
from you.

There's some good information about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy

Hope this helps!

Hi Derek,

If A uses a PGP signature, and B forwards the mail intact, without
cutting off the signature, that will give you a check as to the real
origin of the message. It really only works if you trust A's signature,
but if you do, it's the only way I know of checking.

PGP-Mime is available for Thunderbird, and there is probably a way of
implementing it in Outlook but I don't know it.

If B forwards the mail with headers, that gives you a second check - but
most mail clients cut the original full headers off forwarded mail.

Cheers,

(a sends an email to (b
(b  forwards that email to (c
Is there a way (c can be 100% sure the forwarded email truly did
originally
come from (a ?

I know (c can check  header for the mail from (b,  but I cannot see how
one can  check that  what (b has passed on is truly what (a sent.

Regards,  Derek
