You're doing something "strange" anyway. The encryption is just as strong either way, but any email client is liable to create temp files and stuff which could hold unencrypted copies of your password lists. Given that this is an IMAP account it's possible those temp files exist on the IMAP server. :-( _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
