That ability will come when we get a customizable Toolbar... something we
have been wanting for some time. In the interim, you can of course use the
Menus, or assign Hotkeys to those processes.

You can't. TB! decrypts the message and creates a separate decrypted copy at
the same time. In some respects I like the way TB! does this, as it leaves
the encrypted file intact as opposed to Eudora for instance, which you must
save in a decrypted state if you want to reply to it.

The "Secure Viewer" is a feature used when *sending* encrypted data. When
you check that feature, encrypted data you send will be displayed in a
special Tempest attack prevention font that can only be read using the
secure viewer. Personally, I wouldn't use the feature, as there are some
compatibility issues with earlier versions of PGP. In any case, if the
recipient's version of PGP does not have this feature, the feature itself
will be ignored.

As others have reported, you need to use a Hex Editor to change the actual
TB/PGP DLL. If you don't want to try that, I will be happy to send my old
copy of the DLL which shows Version 6.5.8.

Yes, just generate the Keys you want. The one drawback is that you can only
assign one default Key, and PGP will attempt to use that Key for all your
signatures. You can force PGP to present you with the dialogue box where you
can choose which Key you want to use, by *not* caching your passphrase. This
you can set in PGP's Options.
