All I want to do is to encrypt the text contents of some emails between
Windows and a Linux PC. What is the simplest way of providing this
facility on both the Windows and Linux boxes?
TIA

GPG?

Password protected .zip - though you then have the problem of sharing
the password.

gnupg, or any of the file encryption routines.

Would not advise the latter. AFAIR, it is very weak.
AES, Blowfish, DES, ....

I've just discovered Enigmail is an add-on to Thunderbird so hopefully I
can use that, once I've got to grips with using keys !
Thanks though.
