You may want to count in my ftp client and my email client as well as
the http server. All of them at cloud9.net/~undo. None of them are up to
date since I was bussy with other stuff of which you'll get a taste
soon;-). I plan to post upgraded email and ftp clients one of this

This is a really important issue. PGP is probably the easiest to
implement since MC can call PGP on any platform but the more used method
is SSL and that requires engine work. I have a feeling that sooner
rather then latter most communications will be encrypted for obvious
reasons.
