since we were sending apps for health insurance, including everything, I was
told (but did not verify) that it met some fairly rigid standards for
security.

on a *NIX box it's pretty easy to set up; just encrypt the data before it's
emailed, and decrypt on the other end. we had insurance people doing it, so
a real human being should be able to manage it, too.
