Laptop theft is my other concern. If I have PGP on my own machine can the e-mails be left encrypted on the laptop. I'm thinking the thieves would need to know the pass phrase in order to read anything that's left encrypted on the machine.

I did a test with hushmail. The note I sent to myself [from my hushmail account to my commercial account] directed me to their site where I had to type in a know phrase to decrypt. I'd like the same type of protection for my laptop. Anyone know if this is possible.
