2 choices I know of:

  1) use PGP software from www.nai.com - this is a payed-for license for
commercial use, but its not expensive and works well, including the Outlook
/ OE plugin.

  2) use WinPT software from www.winpt.org - this is a GPL licensed 'Windows
Privacy Tray' which is actually a GUI front end to the Windows version of
GnuPG. Its still in its fairly early days but is becoming a credible
alternative. It now has a windows installer which includes GnuPG and comes
with a Outlook _Express_ plugin. If you are using Outlook, not Express, you
can still use decryption either using its 'current window' feature, or via
the clipboard.
