How to e-mail file so that it can only be opened by a scific recipient?

Is it possible to e-mail an .exe or .zip file so that only the recipient can unzip it & it cannot be sent from the recipient to a second recipient? I.e. the file cannot be re-sent from that person to another person.

You need to encrypt the message using a key. You will have the public and private key and the recipent should have the public key. Only the recipent will be able to decrypt the message.
