Howdy Merlin; http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgp/versions/freeware/ will get your family and friends a copy of PGP for Windows. If I recall correctly the docs that were included were fairly comprehensive for installation and configuration. However; http://www.verysimple.com/scripts/support_pgp_win.html is supposed to be a decent site for newbie friendly information. I've never read it but a friend recommended it so YMMV. Personally since I'm such a dyed in the wool Open Source nut I'd probably recommend: http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/download/ and go from there. Two choices but that's the beauty of the community here, isn't it? As for the BTW at the end of your post, why not just set the mail client to always sign messages so we'll all know it's really you? (-; Install kgpg (should work in GNOME too I think) and set it up. If I remember correctly there are rpms for most recent versions of Mandrake. If not; http://devel-home.kde.org/~kgpg/download.html or; http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2003-February/017089.html for a link and instructions. It parks an applet beside the klipper on the task bar. Graphics for the command line challenged among us. Which occasionally applies to me as well. <g> Best; Charlie - -- Edmonton,AB,Canada User 244963 at http://counter.li.org Cooker on kernel 2.4.22-10mdk 15:35:58 up 28 days, 4:58, 1 user, load average: 0.36, 0.16, 0.11 Don't shout for help at night.
