               PGP  MOSS  PGP/MIME  S/MIME  MSP
Interoperable   +   ?(1)     +        +      +(2)
Int=>Secure     +            +               +
Exportable                            +      +(3)

(1) = this is the question raised in Raph's original message.
(2) = more than two imteroperable implementations have been built to
      the draft specification using the FORTEZZA cryptographic suite.
(3) = Two implementations are currently being developed with exportable
      algorithms.  They are not finished yet, but I do not anticapte any
      issues.  The two vendors have promised interoperability.
