I haven't used it but what about encryption - in TB you've got GPG and enigmail. I think it is the only email client offering this! Worth using if you need to send important documents - but then again email isn't secure they tell us. If i'm going to buy something and need to send a credit card number i use a fax as it is secure [unless you dial the wrong number which is a bit harder to do than email auto-complete].

No public key encryption system (such as (G)PGP) will help here unless you have the recipient's public key. And public key crypto is not widely used in email. I routinely sign my emails and will happily accept encrypted email from anyone who cares to send it to me. But I canmnot send you any such email unless you give me your key.

(And TBird is not the only email client offering GPG integration. I use clawsmail.)
