I also use 658ckt, and I'm hybrid - the plugin for signing and encrypting outgoing messages, because it can conveniently look up the keys - but I strongly dislike the way the plugin decrypts (does it store the decrypted messages in the database?), and use the tray for reading messages. Enigmail's (Mozilla's mail client GnuPG plugin) approach seems better to me on that score, but I vastly prefer The Bat! to Mozilla Mail. Replying to encrypted messages is only tricky if you haven't mastered the clipboard - I just reply with no quotes, copy the viewer contents from the clipboard and use Alt+Ins in the message editor to paste the quotes, trim and reply. It's not _perfect_, but I find I prefer it to the plugin, and I get an immense amount of mail (about 10 a day are encrypted). I haven't tried 8 yet, because as the source isn't available for the beta, I don't trust it yet (I have adventurous plans for a binary-only security audit, though, which I'm sure the new owners of the source would appreciate in time) - though I am glad it's finally out of the hands of NAI again. - -- /sjx. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQA/AwUBPaxnk4rBVKGBkwKXEQLl5ACguWXdKV5a7LHNTUERIQbnOuT5TbwAn3NI iCWe1E3tWe+OqxVp6zpf+kPm =KxUN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
