Thought that the 2 following bugs using TB! and PGP might be of interest -
both will allow you to send an unencrypted message when you think that you
are safe.
1 - forwarding HTML emails with PGP encryption in insecure
2 - The field %ENCRYPTCOMPLETE/ the Privacy -> Encrypt when completed
option is lost when you save a message as draft.
cheers,

Bug description has been sent to developers, included here for your info.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello The Bat! developers,
I'm using The Bat! Version 1.51
Serial Number 5785E114
under Windows 98 4.10 Build 1998
and would like to report a bug
The bug description:
forwarding HTML emails with PGP encryption in insecure
If you forward a HTML email, TB! will encrypt the `text' part of the
message, but will also attach a file - message.shtml - and this will
not be encrypted - so you may think that your email is secure, but
alas you have just forwarded an unencrypted copy of your message.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
generate a HTML email, say using outlook express, send it to your TB!
mailbox. Forward it, and set Privacy->Encrypt when completed. When it
gets forwarded, take a look and see that the main text is pgp'd but
message.shtml has been attached unencrypted.
Regards,
David Pascoe

Hello The Bat! developers,
I'm using The Bat! Version 1.51

and would like to report a bug
The bug description:
The field %ENCRYPTCOMPLETE/ the Privacy -> Encrypt when completed
option is lost when you save a message as draft.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
Either use a template, or set Privacy -> Encrypted when completed when
creating a new message. First time hit the save as draft hourglass
icon to postpone creation of the message. Now when you go back to
complete the message and either send direct or put into the outbox,
the message will not be pgp encrypted.
Now, create a new message again, selecting encrypt when complete. This
time put into the outbox. Go back, it will be encrypted, and you could
if you wanted decrypt and keep composing.
So the bug will result in people mistakenly sending unencrypted email
if they used the draft feature.
Regards,
David Pascoe
