   And than I would need to find a way to have another program communicate with   
   such a plug-in, a way that is not given to exist.

   :-) Thats what this question is all about : if someone knows how to   
   retrieve/extract the sought for data from OE6, sparing me (possible   
   fruitless) hours-upon-hours scouring possible leads in the hope to find such   
   a hint.   
      
   I already checked what DLLs and functions thereof it exports, but none are   
   geared towards encryption.
