D> ... please explain to me the difference between S/MIME and D> PGP/MIME? S/MIME uses x509 cryptography standards which are only ever MIME encoded. Message signatures are added as attachments. Encrypted text removes the message body adds an S/MIME encrypted attachment. Using TB, an S/MIME signature and an S/MIME encrypted message will also encapsulate the sender's S/MIME public key, which makes key exchange using S/MIME a lot easier than with PGP. PGP/MIME uses PGP cryptography standards to encrypt and sign but adds signatures to a message using MIME attachment standards instead of replacing the message body with PGP modified text blocks. Encrypted text also removes the message body and replaces it with a PGP encrypted MIME attachment. Keys are exchanged privately or via PGP key servers. -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.01.20 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 '
