I agree completely and wholeheartedly about your recommendations -
Window$ is evil and vulnerable beyond compare. /Given/ /that/, can I
send/receive encrypted email in a way that is still scanned by antivirus
on the client's computer?
In an ideal world, the recipient would be using Linux, and there would
be no need, but, in an ideal world, blah blah blah.
Iff I use Windows, and if I use gnupg encryption (or S/MIME), would the
anti-malware on the local computer scan the message /before/ it was
read, or is the anti-malware bypassed completely, leaving a giant
security hole no matter what OS I am using?
I have been looking all over the web for an answer, and I have found
/nothing/ so far.
