 The buttons (four of them) are in Emailer's window. They are put 
there by an extension called "PGPemailer" which is installed by PGP
6.0 (and perhaps the 5.x versions - I forget). IIRC, this extension
was dropped in favour of the menu items from PGP 6.5.? onward /but/
the "PGPemailer" extension from 6.0 (the version on mine says 6.0.2i)
will still work with versions up to at least 6.5.1 if you pop it in
the extensions folder. Neat!

 These buttons was one of the reasons I stuck with version 6.5.1, the 
other being that 6.5.1 has an OS 9 compatible version of PGP Disk.
[On MacOS X I've been using an encrypted AES disk image which works
just as well.]

 Thanks for the URL, I had no idea where the older North American
versions were available from these days.

BTW, if I didn't mention it before, the latest version of PGP, 
version 8, for MacOS X (and other platforms) is available from
<http://www.pgp.com>.

 If you're running OS X, however, you may want to look at the Gnu 
Privacy Guard (GPG) which is a completely free, open-source, 
PGP-compatible alternative to the PGP suite. The GPG homepage is
<http://www.gnupg.org/> and the Mac (OS X) version homepage is 
<http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/>.
