Mary, a trick for you: Start: You have an encrypted mail in your Outbox. It is encrypted for you (which means that you have a PGP key generated and Always encrypt to default key is checked in Tools, OpenPGP, OpenPGP preferences) AND for the recipient. You would like to edit the mail. 1. Move the mail to you Inbox (Move parked mails? Yes.) 2. Open the mail in a full window. 3. Select Privacy, Decrypt and Save. It will ask if which key you would like to use to decrypt. Use yours and enter your PGP password. 4. Voila: the mail is decrypted and saved to your Inbox. Move it back to the Outbox and edit it further... 4a. I guess, at this point you may delete the encrypted version from your Inbox... -- Vili ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.61.05 (Echo) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
