password protect a specific email

I have a user that wants to send email back and forth to the CEO without his assistant (who has access to his email) being able to open it. I know of the security options in outlook that allow you to password protect an email, but they don't seem to work for me.

While this is great someone just informed me that when you delegate someone to your folder (inbox, calendar, etc.), if you be sure to leave the box unchecked "Delegate can see my private items". this prevents your delegate from receiving a copy of your message. Thank your very much

The easiest and simplest solution to send emails encrypted is to use VSN Encrypt Managed Service. http://vsn.visus-it.com.
This service uses your Email address as your Public Key and unlike PKI systems you do not require the messing around with certificates. To send an encrypted email you are given 2 options, yo can either download the Outloo/Outlook Express plugin which gives you a send secure button which will encrypt your email to an encryption equivalent standard of RSA 1024bit or you can use the Zero Download Manager Web Interface to send the email encrypted. The end user then has the choice to view the encrypted email through their Internet Browser or they can download the Outlook plugin to view it seemlessly within thir email client. The solution is simple and cheap with no administration overhead. A breath of fresh air!!
