There is also the Rainbow Technologies iKey (don't ask me for a URL).

I use the iKey 2000 with Windows/Netscape quite successfully.  If it
is plugged into the USB port, I can read encrypted mail, if it's not,
I can't (using IE means the key info is copied from the device to the
system registry).

If only they'd release specs.
