Hi,

I recently installed on pgp4win on my windows machine to encyrpt and decrypt
my emails. Since Im new to this stuff I have a couple of questions:

1) Why dont services like Gmail understand PGP encrypted messages and
decrypt them? Has this got something to do with export regulations on
encyrption software?

2) If i send a PGP encrypted message to the mailing list with my public key
in the -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY
BLOCK----- blocks is it ok? Will a user using gmail/yahoomail be able to
read my messages? If yes then how does it happen? Does the mailing list
server do the decryption? If yes, does that mean I receive clear text mails
even though someone wanted to send an encrypted message?

My main reason for this newly accquired paranoia about email privacy is that
I dont want my email admin to be reading my mails, even if they are to the
mailing list. Is PGP the right thing for this?

One more thing? Is it possible to encrypt the subject also?
