Does Entourage 2004 support PGP/MIME yet? From what I can work out, no, but
I could of course be wrong. Any plans to include this feature, if it isn't
already included?
You can digitally sign messages and encrypt them using CA.
I have instructions here:

From the Entourage Help:
About digitally signed and encrypted messages
Microsoft Entourage provides two ways to protect the privacy of your
messages:
€ Encryption, which makes the message unreadable to anyone other than the
intended recipient.
When you send a message that is encrypted, the message must be encrypted
using a certificate (public key) for each recipient. You must also encrypt
the message for yourself so that you can read it once it is sent or saved in
the Drafts folder. The recipient will be able to read the message because it
contains information that matches the private key stored on the recipient's
computer. You obtain certificates by receiving digitally signed messages
from others and storing their certificates in your Entourage Address Boo€
Digital signatures, which assures the recipient that the message is really
from you.
When you send a message that is digitally signed, the message signature
contains the issuer name and a serial number that uniquely identifies the
digital identity used to sign the message. The message also includes the
certificate (public key) and the validation chain (chain of trust). The
recipient uses this certificate (public key) to verify which private key was
used to sign the message. The recipient can also store the certificate in a
contact list so that the recipient will always be able to verify digitally
signed messages from you. You can choose either method or both methods for
any message. Encryption and digital signing are most often used by
corporations or government agencies that have a heightened security
standard.
Before you can digitally sign or encrypt a message, you must obtain a
digital ID. A digital ID contains a certificate (public key) and a private
key. The private key remains on your computer in a secure location. The same
digital ID can be used for both digitally signing and encrypting. You can
store and use more than one digital ID on your computer.
To get an Internet digital ID, you must obtain one from a certification
authority. To view a list of certification authorities, see Where to Get
Your Digital ID on

certificate services. Sometimes they offer a free trial period.
