Send Archives by E-mail

DigiSecret allows you to send files or DGS archives by e-mail using the default e-mail program. DigiSecret can send files by e-mail in two ways:

• By creating an EML file that contains the encrypted archive as attachment, and then launching this file. To use this mode, it is necessary that EML files be associated with the e-mail application and the application is able to open them correctly. This mode suits such e-mail clients as Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.
• By using the MAPI system e-mail interface. It suits virtually any e-mail client and should be used with such applications as Eudora and The Bat!.
  

During the first use of this function, DigiSecret will prompt you to select the method of sending files if it has not been explicitly specified in the program options. You can try both methods and choose the one that works best with your e-mail client.

If unencrypted files are being sent, they are put into an encrypted DigiSecret archive. To send files or DGS archive by e-mail, click Actions => E-mail to Other Users ... . A dialog window similar to Encrypt window will appear. Select your preferred encryption algorithm from the Encryption algorithm menu. Type your passphrase in the Enter Passphrase field and confirm it in the Re-enter field. If you would like to see the passphrase as you type it, check the Show typing checkbox. If you would like to enter your passphrase without using the keyboard, click on the Virtual Keyboard button. After you click the Encrypt & Send button, a new message window with the attached archive will open in your default e-mail program. If you are sending a DigiSecret archive, the new message window will open right after you select E-mail to Other Users menu item.

You can also send files or archives by e-mail by right-clicking on them in the Windows Explorer and selecting DigiSecret =>E-mail to
