Hello Marck,

Well, ok, a bit emotional, but that's because ritlabs doesn't feel
like replying to questions about the PGP/GnuPG plug-in.

It did cost me a whole day to find out why I couldn't decrypt the
messages people sent me with TheBat, and just to find out that TheBat
is using a so called "not very secure, old standard" (these are not my
words! You'll find them on the OpenPGP website!) for message encoding.

It is FACT that TheBat won't encrypt attached files/documents! This is
not exactly what I expected. And it also doesn't decrypt attached
files in received mails. So there IS incompatibility with other
mailers! When I receive a mail from somebody else, who encrypted it
using GnuPG (same version) and I can not decrypt it without other,
additional tools, there is an incompatibility issue, no matter why.

Best regards,
Chris
