It works within TB! here. TB! offers integrated support for it. I'm using it here as we speak without problems. ML> I don't recall seeing a .dll file for PGP v8 available from ML> Ritlabs either.

Once you're using an older version, compatibility issues with other OpenPGP users, especially GnuPG users, may occur. ML> This brings up questions here...

That autoretrieval action isn't a TB! thing. It's PGP and it's there in the options for v6-8 under the 'Servers' tab. I don't know about v5 since I've never used that version.

With GnuPG, you have to import the key to your keyring before it will verify a signature. However, with PGP, you can download the key to memory and check the signature. You can also download it to your keyring. However, whichever you choose, you have to find the public key and retrieve it in order to verify a message signed with the corresponding private key.

You can use the macro %nopgpmime in your templates. There's no global switch for disabling PGP/MIME. Why do you wish to clearsign? Compatibility? Nowadays, I only clearsign when I'm uncertain that my recipients have a PGP/MIME capable clients and know that they plan to check the signature. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.11 Beta/6 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
