One of the banks I use eschews all email contact but has a contact form on their "secure" website. But generally speaking, auto-replies of the type "you sent an email to <[email protected]>, please click this link or reply to this message..." result in my not bothering, and potentially doing business with somebody who is easier to contact. By the way, I tried to send a test message to myself from <https://encrypt.to> but was thwarted by its assumption that the email address for message delivery would be found in the recipient's key, which mine is not. I then sent myself a test message encrypted to a revoked key, so I guess either Encrypt.to or OpenPGP.js needs a bit of tweaking. - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] Learning without thought is naught; thought without learning is dangerous. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iPQEAQEKAF4FAlOzfVhXFIAAAAAALgAgaXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3Bl bnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldEJBMjM5QjQ2ODFGMUVGOTUxOEU2QkQ0NjQ0 N0VDQTAzAAoJEKipC46tDG5pdGcD/3pn5kbdoum4JsVAH6Sl7GWOTMZKGZOOYZL7 yL/IGnlAnFQ4cycWkxlGzQIhy/V2bJQiRzjP1rsYZXfdbFkx2Ei2OJOumASxDW4c qGjyEQryo31DFdhMAZMng2fP5xi7xKrn61hr72JhgYOQRunGv29alwaKlTBWOhiq wqPgehAx =TPRt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
