There are three ways to do this: 1. Pine can do MIME enclosures, so the only thing to do is add security. But then pgp4pine-1.75.tar.gz and gpg4pine-4.1.tar.bz2 can take care of the security aspect. Now each mail user will need to have a public PGP key and so it is convenient to have a public key server. 2. How about if people want SSL-style digital certificates? Then we need to use Netscape Communicator + SSL security (version 4.5? or higher). Then everyone will need to get his own personal certificate from Verisign or Thawte or from a private Certificate Authority. Netscape, of course can already handle MIME enclosures. Also we can use Linux or Windows or any OS that runs Netscape. 3. Use sendmail-8.11.0.Beta3.tar.gz. This version of sendmail supports STARTTLS (transport layer security). The only problem is that all the mail hosts must run this version of sendmail. The advantage is that users can select their favorite MUA (Eudora, Pegasus, pine, etc.). So there. Take your pick. **PMana ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: mail.ateneo.net - Philippine Linux Users Group.
