Overview
On your Windows PC, you can open and decrypt the resulting PDF file with a common PDF reader such as "Adobe Reader". The encrypted PDF file can contain, in addition to the actual mail, additional attachments, such as contract documents or information material.
You can save the attachments on your PC and open them using the usual programs (for example MS Office, OpenOffice, Adobe Reader, etc.).
