Ok.

So, the only time you're secure is when the PGP Disk isn't mounted. ACM>> While using SecureBat!, one of my message bases corrupted.

I share your concern. Though users of TB! have had message bases corrupt, I've been using TB! since April, 1999 and I'm yet to have one of these message bases corrupt and I have message bases here containing in excess of 8000 messages. I have over 400MB of message data in my archive and mail directories. - -- �Allie C Martin -- List Moderator and fellow end-user PGPKey - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=PGPPubKey1 [MUA: TB! v1.54/10 (*) OS: Win2K SP 2] __ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (MingW32) Comment: Sealed for Security iEYEARECAAYFAjvhOGYACgkQV8nrYCsHF+JMbACgrg+XI4uC/l8+t0FsWmSKpV9e dEwAoLvFr92w0abpsPR2aiS+x/9MdoxS =HKOM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
