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! -- Patricia Fraser International Sales Manager Quantum Technology UK Tel: +44 (0)160 470 5680 Fax: +44 (0)870 705 9646 www.quantech.com.au Eleanor Burke wrote:What is a PGP signature?

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.
