But then the recipient (who is using Outlook-2000) gets an email that has has a completely empty body and 2 attachments. (called ATT31902.ATT, and ATT31903.ATT). Hitting the Decrypt/Verify button within Outlook does nothing (it can't find anything to decrypt). And those files can't seem to be saved and decrypted manually either. Does this work for you ?

I probably won't upgrade just yet, unless 658ckt is also causing the other problems. This one is relatively minor. But at least I now know the culprit, and my options :) SS>> Just one question: it seems that the only way to decrypt the SS>> in-coming attached file is to save the file, then decrypt it outside SS>> of thebat!.

From outlook-2000, the message is sent (also using PGP 658ckt) with "sign/encrypt on send". In the "Text" tab page in TheBat I get the new button at the top right of the screen to decrypt/verify. I press that, then I enter my pass-phrase, then the text component of the message is decrypted, but the attachment is still showing in the left of screen as encrypted. So I am having to "go through that hassle". Are you saying that on your system (ie PGP 8) it decrypyts the attachment in the same step ? ===8<=========================================
