Requires Flash, is therefore entirely useless. Nobody should be running flash after 2015.

A great and sadly unique tool. Too bad it only works with Flash activated.

I could be using it incorrectly but it would be helpful to have step by step instructions. I tried sending myself an "encrypted email" to another email address and I'm not sure what the reciever is supposed to do when they get it. It doesn't turn into a hyperlink for them to click so how do they access the message?
