G> Ah... Now it is there! :-) <snipping the ginormous key block & related sig> Thank you for bringing this question to the group. I have been following this thread avidly since I have never understood the PGP and related encryption methods and I have some questions and an observation. 1. I largely use text and not html to communicate. Using GnuPG seems to take up lots of space. Do I remember correctly that proper email etiquette advocated no more than 6 lines in a sig, or, is that just a piece of the past that just stuck in my memory? 2. How will correspondents using smart phones manage this considering the screen size? 3. For correspondents who don't use a dedicated email program such as TheBat! handle this if they are using web mail? 4. When replying without trimming in an email thread, this could potentially take to not only scroll through, but to even find the actual email amidst all the other security characters? 5. Are these questions also relevant to PGP or only GnuPG? Isn't choosing VPN more effective w/o having to use the keys and the added issue of having to convince other people to adopt this system in order to communicate with me? These are the ones who say, why should I do this, I've got nothing to hide? -- Cheers, Maggie http://www.OurCabinOnTheCreek.com A stroke of the brush does not guarantee art from the bristles. -Kosh Naranek ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
