Åre you also aware of Schleuder? [1] I don't want to surpress your enthusiasm, but if possible, maybe, you can ameliorate that other thing even more? With Schleuder: > - A list member writes an pgp signed and encrypted message to the list server Or an outsider, depends on the configuration.

So, I'm sorry that I'm not here to beta-test, but would rather see Schleuder getting better as someone reinventing the wheel. Maybe your wheel is more round or has better brakes, I don't know. [2] It has happened to me before that I enthusiastically spend a lot of time on something that someone else already did. And sometimes that other project served as a good example or inspiration. > After some testings, the whole project will be available on SourceForge. I might be asking (too) much, but I'd suggest to reconsider SourceForge, they now try to push some drive-by installer in everyones mouth. I guess a discussion on that subject is too much off-topic for this list, so I'll stick with a link to a simple rant. [3] All in all, I hope I found the right tone in my mail, don't get it wrong, I applaud your energy and enthusiasm! And if someone figures a way to do group public key encryption, I'd be interested in hearing how that would work. ciao, kwadronaut [1] http://schleuder2.nadir.org/ [2] I wonder, were the first wheels in humankind equipped with brakes?
