How to encrypt \ password protect a email when sending an email few external users

Hi

We use exchange 2007 and outlook 2010. One of the users has asked, that they want to send an email to few external users and the email they send must me encrypted.
(something like they should be able to open by a password, don't know how it works)

Is there a way to do this? Any suggestions will be helpful. Please can some on post me step by step tutorials to achieve this.
Thanks

Hi Saurabh

if I do it  in this way  , it is asking for a digital ID, where do I get the digital ID\how do I generated the ID
 and how would the recipient open the encrypted message.

Hi

I went to COMODO and it created a certificate and now  I can see the certificate is imported into my local PC.

Will I need to follow the same procedure to get a digital certificate on the recipient PC who are located outside our organisation\ will my imported certificate be enough to send a encrypted email.

Sorry if I am asking silly question, just trying to understand, before I implement on the recipient PC

Thanks
