An assumption in which you would be correct. Yes, you can get people who have no interest in encryption and authentication and don't see why they should be of importance to them, to use them ... if they are a transparent integral part of the infrastructure that's active by default and Just Works behind the scenes, without them having to do anything to make it happen. But if they have to use a specific add-on to a specific mail client, and install supporting software, and generate and publish keys, to do something optional and extra that they don't see any good reason why they should do in the first place.... Nope. Not happening. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications [email protected] [email protected] Landline: 603.293.8485
