we wanted to alert you about opolis secure email (http://www.opolis.eu), as we thought it could be useful for your challenging work in the area of investigative journalism. opolis is a free service providing absolutely safe, encrypted mail and messaging of confidential information. and, the sender actually decides whether the recipient of a mail is allowed to copy, forward, print or further process the message and its text and photo attachments. Therefore, no forwarding of mails, photos or text is possible without permission of the sender – and that would ensure absolute control over confidential or secret information and messages.
