 N> The problem here is that there isn't much of a way to secure messages: 	*

Yeah, my thinking was it would be entered into the FSE then you enter a
password and it's encrypted and saved to the message base.

A sysop could potentially read the message, or even the key, both on the
sender's end or the receivers end, but on any other boards that the
echomail travels to it would be encrypted.

I totally agree that PGP would be the more secure way to send encrypted
comminucations, but apart from preparing the message offline and
uploading / copy pasting, I can't imagine how it could be built in
without the sysop having access to users private keys.

Like I said, might be fun, but I don't see much use ;)
