1.0 Benefits of Encryption Plus® for Email
===========================================

1.1 Ease of use: EP Email will automatically protect email
    messages from unauthorized access as they travel over the
    Internet by using proven Blowfish encryption technology. 

1.2 Secure: EP Email ensures that email messages are encrypted
    from the moment they leave the workstation until they are
    received and decrypted by the intended recipient.
 
1.3 Flexible: Users have the option of encrypting an email message,
    or leaving it decrypted.
  
1.4 Minimum Administrative requirements: Then EP Email User
    program is exceptionally easy to install and use. Even novice
    computer users can begin to use this software in minutes. The
    straightforward nature of this program precludes most problems
    associated with user error.

1.5 No special program required: Recipients may use any type of
    Windows-based email program to receive the EP Email-encrypted
    message; in addition, the recipients do not need to have
    EP Email installed.

******************************************************************

2.0 Known Issues
=================
 
2.1 If one or more files could not be decrypted, the file display
    screen will not appear.
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    If an encrypted email was not decrypted properly, an error
    message will appear. However, the EP Email Windows Explorer
    screen will not display and any message in the body of the
    text will not open in Notepad.
    WORKAROUND: Use Windows Explorer and navigate where the files
    were extracted.

2.2 Recipient's instruction message may not be lined up properly.
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    This only appears if the sender sent encrypted email from
    Outlook 97. When a recipient receives an encrypted email, the 
    instructional message does not wrap correctly.  The line 
    breaks are irregular.  
    NOTE: A fix will be implemented for the future version.
   
2.3 EP Email will allow you to install on a computer without 
    MS Outlook installed. 
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    EP Email currently does not defect if MS Outlook is installed.
    This means that About and Help file will be listed on the 
    Start short-cut menu, however, EP Email will only run if MS
    Outlook is installed.
    WORKAROUND: Install MS Outlook first and then install EP Email
    program. A fix will be implemented in futures version to
    detect whether MS Outlook is present. 

2.4 The Password Manager icon may not display unless Outlook
    window is maximized. 
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    When the MS Outlook email program is open, EP Email Password
    Manager icon may not display at the tool unless the window
    screen is maximized.  This is a random occurrence that appears
    only on some computers.
    WORKAROUND: The Outlook window screen should always be
    maximized when you need to click on the Password Manager icon
    to make changes.

3.0 Defect Fixes
=================

3.1 Fixed crashing problem with email service from MS Exchange
    Server.
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    On some machines, with EP Email installed, users who had MS
    Exchange Server set up as their email service experienced a
    crash when clicking the Send button.  This problem has been
    fully resolved with this latest build. 

3.2 EP Email can now process accented or otherwise marked
    characters in passwords, subject line and in body of the
    message.
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Users can now encrypt an email message with foreign
    language characters in the password, subject line and in body
    of the message (such as â, ñ, ö, é, à), the recipient is able
    to decrypt the message without an error message. 

3.3 EP Email is now compatible with the whole PC Guardian Suite of
    products, including EP Folders.
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    A sporadic error message appeared on EP Folders when you
    continuously installed and uninstalled EP Email on the same
    computer.  This known issue is now fixed in this release.

3.4 The tab functionality in the Encrypt and Send screen is now
    working properly with this version.
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    When you choose to send an email, the EP Email Encrypt and 
    Send screen will appear.  The tab key will move the selection
    from one option to another.

3.5 After uninstalling EP Email, the program will force the machine
    to reboot, which will remove all information in memory.
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   Once the program is uninstall, it will reboot the machine which
   will then remove items such as the About and Help file at the
   Start short-cut menu.  

3.6-The EP Email key icon is now synchronized with the Encryption
    Plus tab options.
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    For EP Email Outlook, the key icon is now synchronized with
    the Encryption Plus tab options under the Tools pull-down menu
    Options selection of MS Outlook. 

3.7-An incorrect error message no longer appears when emails are
    sent encrypted with attachments only.
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    When the EP Email program was set to only encrypt attachments,
    and a message was sent with only attachments and no text in the
    body of the message.  An incorrect error message would appear
    and is now removed from this latest version.
