Thanks. It looks interesting, as much as I understand it's kind of the 
same approach as I use with my LUKS-encrypted image-files for my own 
purposes.

The problem I see here is that the receiver must install Veracrypt to be 
able to mount a container (at least s/he can, in contrary to LUKS on
Win, as far as I know).

But I bookmarked it, in case I find no easier solution.
