Signing allows the recipient to verify that you sent the message, not
some imposter.

You want Encryption. Signing and Encryption are related in that they
both use digital keys/IDs.

Take a look at:

Digital IDs for Secure E-mail

Assuming that recipient has a mail program that supports S/MIME, such as
Outlook Express, he won't need to install any software, but will need to
get a digital id.

...
How can I send an email to a person and be sure that
no one else can intercept it and read it?
I would like only the person who it is ment for to read it.
I want this to be easy for him to open and read.. not needing him/her
to
go through loopholes and installations...

I have seen a "sign" button on OE, is this related?

Please guide me since I have never researched this perticular aspect
....

thanks
