TB! will use the corresponding options depending on which OpenPGP solution you wish to use from within TB!. OpenPGP KeyManager will open the keymanager for PGP 8.0.2 if you're using it with TB!. The preferences will open PGP preferences. > And conversely, if I'm using other PGP options, which apparently > require OpenPGP, why isn't OpenPGP enabled implicitly? You may wish not to use OpenPGP from within TB! and only externally. There are those who do not wish to use integrated support. The other thing is that you may have multiple solutions installed. I have PGP 8.1 installed, as well as GnuPG/GPG Shell. I've chosen to use PGP 8.1 with TB!. How would TB! know which one you wish to integrate with and if you wish to integrate at all? > The implication seems to be that there are other ways to support PGP > within TB besides the use of OpenPGP, but what are they?

There's GnuPG http://www.gnupg.org > 2. What's the best way to recognize PGP-signed messages in incoming > mail with filters? With TB! it's best to check the message body or the headers for strings that would imply the message is signed. PGP/MIME signed messages would have a header string to the effect: Content-Type: multipart/signed For inline signatures, do a text match for the following strings in the message body: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- -- -= Allie =- .....
