...Can I send an encrypted e-mail so that it decodes itself automatically once it reaches the recipient?
An e-mail message is just a piece of data; it is always a computer program (i.e., a piece of software, not data) that performs either encryption or decryption. It is therefore not possible to construct a message that would somehow "decrypt itself" upon arrival on ~any~ computer, but it is possible to set up a program on a specific recipient's computer to do that. Details would depend on the nature of recipient's computer and software - specifically the e-mail client program - used on it. This would of course only make sense if the attacker has absolutely no access to recipient's computer, not even via the network. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
