Email a "suitcase" so recip can fill and send back (e.g., w/exe)

[Sheila Shovlin (Pittsburgh, PA)]

Tech support groups such as ours have a difficult time getting files sent
back from customers if special files are involved (such as *.exe). Most
firewalls block these even when they are in a zip file. The procedure has to
be rename the extention, then zip the file, then send it. It would be great
if Outlook had the concept of a "suitcase" that tech support could email a
customer and say "drag and drop your files into this suitcase then email it
back to me" and that "suitcase" could act as a sort of zip file or protective
encasement that the sender will automatically trust the same way a
certificate is trusted. There could be a timeout concept on this suitcase so
it can't be picked up years from now and reused for some kind of virus
activity.

Microsoft stopped making Microsoft Binder after Office 97. I miss it too.

This could be achieved if Outlook automatically trusted all attachments which
were signed and encrypted with digital certificates.

User A would digitially sign a message and send it to User B. User B copies
User A's address to their Contacts folder (this imports User A's public key
from the signature). User B can now send messages to User A encrypted with
User A's public key so only User A can read them. User B signs the message
with their private key so User A can be sure the message came from User B.
