One considerable disadvantage is the size overhead of S/MIME messages - the signing process seems to add 6k onto the message size, and whilst this might be worthwhile for business communications, where the identity of the individual is important, it does not appear to be worthwhile on TBUDL. At least PGP only adds 1k or so to the message size. I'll leave it to someone else to draw the inevitable conclusion of this... :-) Julian Julian -- Using The Bat! v1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
