Yeh but I _don't_ care. If I have something that I want to be secure you can bet I will have other ways to convey that message. Many companies need to assume that all of their mail is subject to becoming public if a legal challenge is mounted nomatter how secure they may make it technically. Individuals != companies so the issues while they overlap are not identical. BobLQ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
