Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED], A reminder of what [EMAIL PROTECTED] on TBUDL typed on: Saturday, January 29, 2005 at 21:00:05 GMT +0100
aacu> A Can anyone using any email client read it without needing to do aacu> anything too taxing or comples - many of my cients and contacts have aacu> zero experience outside Outlook Express vanilla. Yes, anyone can read it without trouble. They just won't know what it is that's all. aacu> B What if some clients access email through MS Excgange Server? Can't help with that one. aacu> C What about emails I send to a Mail List Controlling programme? How aacu> does it read them? Probably treats them as an attachment and will either display them or delete them. In which case it's pointless signing. If it's to a yahoo group list there is a desirable side effect. S/MIME signed posts tend not to carry all the yahoo advertisements. The signature remains in tact though. aacu> D What I really can find no answer to is: aacu> How does the system work in actuality for the actual sender aacu> and the actual recipient of the email in terms of what they are faced aacu> with when an email arrives and what they have to do to be able to aacu> read it. All they need to do is read it as they would a normal email, they just won't be able to verify it as being from you and unaltered on route. Unless you encrypt it and then no one will be able to read it without your key. -- Best regards, Tony. _____________________________________________________________ Message composed on 1/29/2005 at 8:06 PM UTC 2004 - AWB The Bat! 3.0.2.10 Gentoo.
