Downloaded and installed Evo RC2 using Red Carpet on to SuSE 7.2. I was looking forward to a fix for the broken PGP that started in RC1.
RC2 does not provide any relief. A message signed by PGP is reported in Evo as PGP 2.6.x is not supported. EXCEPT the sender signed the message using PGP 6.5.8 (I know that because I signed from a second machine and emailed it to myself). The message is readable so the error report from Evo is just very annoying. However if the message is encrypted then Evo is broke, dead, non-functional. IF the message is encrypted, and of course if there is an encrypted attachment, then Evo shows the header of the message and the error indication from Evo that 2.6.x is not supported. The body of the encrypted message, the attachment and any possible method of recovery are not visible. The is no encrypted undeciphered text, no icon or menu holding the text, nothing. The recovery is to set Evo to leave messages on the server at all times. And then to close Evo and use a different email client to retrieve messages from the server, sort through those messages, find the encrypted message and view the email all through the other email client. The result is that I am having to manage 2 email clients and the messages left on the server when all I want to do is receive and send encrypted email, preferably with Evo. While Evo's handling of encrypted email is not perfect, as I have mentioned in earlier posts, prior to RC1 it was generally functional. I understand that there was a change with PGP coding in RC1 with the removal of support for PGP 2.6.x. Now there needs to be a fix so that encrypted messages can be used with Evo with at least the functionality that was in the previous beta releases. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
