If not, aren't you kind of defeating the whole point of GPG, or am I misunderstanding you? It's not a perfect strategy, I agree. However, I think it's better than nothing. The school server could be configured to bounce unsigned email or allow only certain whitelist signatures to pass through the mail server. If a kid really wants unrestricted email then Gmail exists. Email is great, but we need to protect kids until they are old enough to handle the responsibility. ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar

Speaking as an XO user, I am requesting a feature that I imagine would benefit any users that have internet access. I would like to be able to use the Write function, and then send what I have written in an email as an attachment. That way, I can send it to others, send it to a computer with a printer, and use the written material in various ways, even as a book. So is there a chance of compatibility between the Write (and other) functions and the Browse (where we can access email)? If there is any service on the XO that can send email, then this would be trivial to add to Write. Isn't there a Google SoC application this year to create an an email thing based on tinymail for the XO ? Marc While not an accepted application, I will be working on an email client for the XO during June-August regardless. Support for attachments and mailto: URI's is planned. The wiki page http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Email_Activity details my ideas and I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it! :) Marc ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
