you need

(1) a distribution of pgp or gpg (the gnu privacy guard can work with pgp 
certificates as well)
        look at http://www.gnupg.org/ or http://www.pgpi.com

(2) time and knowledge to write a script to do all the work ;-)
        (i think my employer doesn't want me to write scripts for other 
people instead for him)

i can't provide the whole solution, but i'd prefer something like this:

- get all the form data into local variables
- save the variable containing the public key into a temporary file
- put the text that is to be sent into a temporary file
- import the key into pgp/gpg (gpg --import)
- encrypt the file (gpg --encrypt)
- send the file (e.g. via /usr/lib/sendmail -t, and so on)
- delete the file with the text
- delete the file with the public key
- if you want to - delete the public key from the key ring (not necessary)

hope this helps...

cya, jonas.
