Is anyone familiar with the encryption built into MS Outlook?

Is ZixMail any better than Outlook used with a digital signature?
Why would anyone buy from an unknown like Zix ( even if there was an actual product, not just a web page) instead of Microsoft?

Add security to Internet messages

You can add two security features to the e-mail messages you send:

· You can sign a message with a digital signature to ensure that the message is not altered by someone else and to assure recipients that the message came from you.
· You can encrypt a message to ensure that the message and its attachments cannot be read by anyone other than the recipients you select.

Before you can send a secure message, you and the message recipient must set up the appropriate security options. To send and receive secure messages from the Internet, you use a digital ID to encrypt messages. To send an encrypted e-mail message to someone, you must have a copy of that person's digital ID in your contact list.
