Fwd: Thawte PGP Support
This is a forwarded message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, August 04, 2000, 3:33:30 AM Subject: Thawte PGP Support ===8==Original message text=== Hi, * This is an official Thawte Personal Certificate Announcement for all our customers using PGP * We would like to inform all of Thawte's PGP users that we will soon be discontinuing our support of PGP. We are in the process of making changes to our signing engines, and as of 1 September 2000, we will be converting to new systems. These changes will result in us no longer being able to sign PGP keys for our users. The discontinuation of this system will in no way affect the validity of your keys and the Thawte signatures on your keys will remain valid. For those of you who have had your identities verified for the Thawte Web of Trust, your points will remain and you are invited to obtain personal x.509 certificates which carry your name. Between now and 1 september, please feel free to get any keys that you might have, signed by Thawte. In the past we have attempted to keep up to date with our support of newer releases of PGP, but have not always managed to achieve this with the effectiveness that is commonly associated with other Thawte services. We still believe, however, that PGP is an excellent personal encryption tool, and this decision should in no way be interpreted as an indication of our confidence in PGP. If you have any questions or comments on this announcement, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience.

If they don't get a key by then, they won't be able to get it signed by Thawte. If they do have one, it will stay valid - at least for a year I think. In other words, if you don't have it signed by them yet then it's a good idea to do so ASAP before it's too late :) Don't know why they are going for S/MIME. It's very Microsoft-flavoured (ie. bloated), especially in the fact that it makes signed messages huge, whereas PGP sigs are quite small - and it takes a lot of effort and money to get yourself a decent certificate (ie with your name on and better than a measly 1024 bit RSA). Far prefer PGP myself. Free, secure, no harder to use, much less bloated. -- Deryk Lister || ICQ 25869912 || www.deryk.co.uk Using The Bat! 1.46 Beta/2 under Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1 on a PentiumII-400 with 128MB PGP: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=Retr%20PGP%20Key Any of my keys _under_ 3072 bit (usually on keyservers) don't work. -- -- View the TBBETA archive at http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double-click HERE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBBETA, double-click HERE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

The Bat! - bug report
Hello The Bat! developers, I'm using The Bat! Version 1.46 Beta/3 Serial Number 6483C0EA under Windows 98 4.10 Build A and would like to report a bug The bug description: When viewing new messages from within the virtual folder from the TB! ticker, the ability to delete messages from the folder sometimes disappears (i.e., no delete option available from either the toolbar icon or from the right-click menu). Steps to reproduce the bug: View incoming mail via the virtual/ticker folder; delete multiple messages with threading turned on; approximately half the time the trash icon becomes unavailable and the delete option disappears form the right-click menu. I **think** this occurs after having deleted one message from a thread, leaving other messages in the thread (and other unread messages) unavailable for delete. Sorry, I cannot be more specific, but this appears to be the action that causes the bug ... I had earlier thought it had to do with deletion of HTML messages, but just had it happen to me with no HTML messages in the virtual folder, and just a thread with multiple messages. I've only begun using the ticker/virtual folder in the past week or so, when I realized that, finally, ticker settings were sticky and didn't reset themselves upon TB! close, so I cannot verify whether this is new behavior or not. It has been present for at least the last two betas, however.

Stefan, On Saturday, August 05, 2000, at 1:21 AM you wrote: ST [+] Organisation/Return-Path/Comment fields in the message editor ST header Awesome! ST [+] %Comment, %Comment="..." macros Why? I mean, it's on the right path to customizable X-Headers, but why the Comment instead of X-Header. I may be wrong, but I think the only place I've seen this is in TB. What good is Comments going to do if the recipient isn't using TB. I would much rather an %X-Header type macro where you can define multiple ones i.e. %X-Header="X-Homepage: http://www.pcwize.com" %X-Header="X-Dog's Name: Rover" %X-Header="X-Favorite Beer: Guinness Extra Stout" etc. Also, I was unable to get %Comment to work via Quick Templates. The only way I could get Comments into the messages was to Select View while editing a message and check the Comment header. Then I could manually input a Comment. Anybody else can confirm? ST [+] %Org="..." macro to overwrite Organisation name in a message Awesome! Been waiting on that one for a while. Keep up the good work.
