Re: automatic encryption of message file
Hi Peter, Andy: I have to admit I was wrong. No problem. Good to see that there are still people out there who can admit their mistakes. A rare attitude these days. :-( is stronger than before implemented in 'StrongBat!' and 'SecureBat!' Please tell me more about StrongBat. Never heard about it before. SecureBat sounds great, but is too expensive for me right now. :-( Thanks, Andy. -- Dr. Andy Spiegl, Radio Marañón, Jaén, Perú E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://spiegl.de, http://radiomaranon.org.pe PGP/GPG: see headers o _ _ _ --- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) -o) - _`\,__`\,__(_) (_)/_\_| \ _|/' \/ /\\ (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_)(_) (_)(_)' _\o__\_v Death to all fanatics! -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
automatic encryption of message file
Hi Batters, I thought that I had read somewhere that TB encrypts the message files (messages.tb*) so that noone can read my mails just opening these files. But my TB doesn't seem to do this. I can see all of the text when I open messages.tbb with notetab or any other editor. Can this be done and how, please? Thanks a lot for any hint or pointer, Andy. -- Dr. Andy Spiegl, Radio Marañón, Jaén, Perú E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://spiegl.de, http://radiomaranon.org.pe PGP/GPG: see headers o _ _ _ --- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) -o) - _`\,__`\,__(_) (_)/_\_| \ _|/' \/ /\\ (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_)(_) (_)(_)' _\o__\_v Nobody wants to know what you're doing until you're doing something that you don't want anyone to know. -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Re: automatic encryption of message file
Hi Peter, With using 'SecureBat!'. http://www.ritlabs.com/securebat/index.html Sure, but I am pretty sure I read something like this in a mail or on the website of TB, but now I can't find it anymore.

Hi Peter and Jernej, Maybe you're mixing up having read about 'compressing' and 'encrypting' message base ... ?!? Hm, at least that sounds very interesting. How would that be done?
