Is there a way to encrypt a mailing list?

European rules are saying that any database involving other people (e.g. membership lists which is where the problem arises) must be encrypted. I use a mailing list to bcc members of a voluntary organisation. Is there any way to make this look encrypted to an intruder on my computer? I would be quite prepared to encrypt Thunderbird as a whole if that would sort it.

I think encrypting the Users folder would be my preferred approach. I would expect that Windows can do this for you, or you can use a use a third-party tool to encrypt selected folders, partitions or drives.

You don't need to encrypt "Thunderbird as a whole". The part that matters is your profile.

Thank you, though as a future enhancement it would be good to be able to zoom in to the level of list. I'd love a setting that forced use of bcc when sending. I live in terror of not doing that!
