I've been told that it is illegal for us to transmit encrypted text to locations outside the borders of the US (i.e. sending email across the Atlantic that is encrypted).

Is this true?

I'm no lawyer, but no, this is not true. (There are some foreign countries which take a dim view of encrypted traffic coming in, but the US has no laws against it.) Who told you this? - Carl
