Hello,

Umm, no, cryptography is the art of writing messages that can only be
decoded by the intended recipient. Very little to do with e-mail.
If you have messages that MUST not get into hostile hands, I suggest
reading a good cryptography text (sorry, I'm not keeping up with it these
days; is `Applied Cryptography' by Bruce Sterling still the standard
reference?) or hiring a security expert, or both.
A program like PGP, properly used, can give you a reasonable trade-off
between security and convenience. However, depending on your requirements,
stronger encryption may be warranted (whether that means steganography or
one-time-pad).

I'd suggest CVS for collaborative document revision control.
