Quite easily Jan. PGP is a tried and trusted form of encryption
which allows you to encrypt BEFORE your electronic mail goes
through a mail server. Privacy.com and other such services CLAIM
to ensure your privacy, but since THEY undertake the encryption,
how are you sure? Also, can you be sure of the encryption
algorithm they use? Is it easily cracked? PGP has another
advantage: you can sign messages at source and people can be sure
its from you and the message has not been tampered with.

Jan and Charly, TB does work with PGP 6.5.8; I use it myself with
TB, and other programs.
Go to Tools/Privacy/Choose PGP Version and check the radio button
for "PGP 6.x/6.5.x". You will have to download the .dll from the
Ritlabs web site as well, but it does work. As I understand it,
PGP 6.5.8 is basically PGP 6.5.3 with the ADK bug removed.
