Hello Melissa, MR> Hi Tony,

Encrypting/signing/decryption all work. When I decrypt PGP wants to save to file. Real integration would be that it replaces the encrypted text with the plain text. Without loosing quotes/formatting etc. The OpenPGP found in TB! integrates a lot better but has problems with quotes. Maybe some smart trick with templates can solve that... But it doesn't support the latest ciphers so it's useless for me :( BTW as long as it works and handles modern ciphers it doesn't matter if it's PGP/OpenPGP/GPG/...

Tell that on alt.security.pgp :-) Many there will not agree with you. Some still stick with 2.6 And many don't trust the versions where PRZ was not (closely) involved I never heard of security flaws in PGP besides academic 'weaknesses' found in MD5 But besides of that I would use a later version, if only for new ciphers/hashes. I'm running an evaluation copy of TB! as you can see from the header and I want to learn as much about TB! in that period so that I can make a founded decision. Thanks for your reply. -- Best regards, Tony One day as I came home early from work ..... I saw a guy jogging naked. I said to the guy .... Hey buddy .... why are you doing that for? He said .... Because you came home early. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
