Using Thawte Certificates
Can anyone tell me how to use/import a Thawte Personal Freemail certificate into The Bat! for use with s/mime? The Thawte site only shows certs for IE, OE... not The Bat!

Next step is to export this as a file to somewhere handy so you can get it into TB! For Opera, go into Tools - Preferences - Security - Manage certificates and click on Export. I had tried this but when I tried to export the certificate, IE would not let me export the private key. I created a new certificate and that exported OK. Not sure what happened here? Now, open TB! and open Account... - Properties - Edit personal Certificates and import the file you've just saved. Is this is successful you will see the certificate. Now click Generate and type in the passphrase used when requesting the certificate. I cannot find any reference to 'Edit personal certificates' in that path?

pgp problem
I have a problem with pgp signature verification in Ver: 2.12 that I had hoped The Bat! Ver: 3 would cure - unfortunately not. If I try to verify a senders key which is not in my key list. It appears that the bat uses DCOM to search a keyserver. A pop-up appears which does not resolve the key (any key). Upon cancelling the pop-up, an error is generated that closes the bat. After this, unless I re-boot, trying to run the bat again just causes an error which closes it. Anybody else have this problem? -- Best regards, Barry - Using The Bat! v3.0 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 pgp 6.5.8ckt Using The Bat! built-in support.

Open pgp version support
Hello TBUDL members, I am using pgp version 6.5i and have tried using the built-in support for pgp without success. I can encrypt and decrypt messages using the 6.5i plug-in, but using the built-in support for versions 5, 6, 7, 8 either crashes The Bat! or just ignores the 'send' command after requesting 'encrypt when completed'. I realise that I could just carry on using the plug-in, but I would like to get to the bottom of the problem. Should I upgrade pgp to version 8?
