It sounds that way but I'm sure I have seen people suggest on this list to back up an encrypted message base, uninstall TB!, install TB! a-fresh without opting to use OTFE, then restore from the backup to get back to a non-encrypted messagebase. I cannot currently remember for certain whether the advice suggested a password would be needed but I think it did not. > Have I missed something? I don't think so. [continuing off-topic] By the way, I only found your posting by accident because your from address begins "postmaster@" and (for the messages I receive) that usually means it will be a delivery failure report, often for spam that somebody sent spoofing one of my addresses. Maybe it would be worth considering whether sending out from that address is causing others to miss some of your mail. Just a thought.
