Yes, I meant that, but since I don't use GnuPG, I couldn't tell what that meant. It seemed to address your remarks. I stopped using PGP a long time ago because it was such a hassle to use. When I looked at it again about a year ago, I looked at GnuPG (I think) and OpenPGP, etc. They seemed to be just as much of a hassle as before. But the latest version of PGP from www.pgp.com seems to be much less so. I am a big proponent of "no hassle" since I look at so much email every day. This seems to be pretty well done. It stays out of my way, except for the first time I enter my password; I have it cached for about hours, so I really only enter it once an email session. And when I want to check a signature or whatever, it contacts the PGP Key server for me and gets the public key. I like that. "Automated" is good for me. I never liked having to manually distribute my key. I don't like having to ask for one before using it. I know some people will think that caching a password for 2 hours is unsecure, but I don't use this at my office, so it works just fine for me. :) -- Best regards, Jim D JD -at- CastleGK -dot- com [Using The Bat! 2.01.3 on Windows XP Service Pack 1 Build 2600] --- A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. ~Steve Martin ---
