Ralf I suspect, if he were to use pgp, would be like me, and only trust pgp-2.6.2a, the last one before they put Zimmerman in jail for a few years. I have often said, and have been called the uber paranoid for it, that one of the conditions of his release was that the next generation of pgp had a back door. Denials out the yang are always instantaneous, but none of them came from Pete, so I have no choice but to conclude he is under NDA as the price of his freedom. So I figure the lack of compatibility of modern versions means I might as well use plain text anyway. My views aren't secret anyway if you read my sig. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
