I've looked through forums and such and it seems that POI can't use Excel's
built in encryption.  Has anyone build a process to get this to work.  I'm
thinking of sending the excel file to a windows box, running some VBscript
to encrypt the file, and then send it to the user.
The encryption that I'm looking for is the Excel's build in password
protection against reading the file.

Thanks in advance.
