Dunno, but the extra lines of text (see below) would probably just be treated as extra text. > C > What about emails I send to a Mail List Controlling > programme? How does it read them? Same as normal. There are just an extra few lines of text.

They get an extra line or two at the top of the message and several lines at the end. If they do not have PGP or GPG they just ignore it. If they do, they could try to verify your signature to demonstrate the message really did come from you (or someone with access to your private key and passphrase) and it was not altered in transit. The extra lines are: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- idghsdbhdv/dfgW/9q62fdgjxs2sd\sv2gASzejhghjGHjvcghdhjgllXA X0ZRtjhiMGEppyt/sN/NqCE= =dQs4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Best regards, MFPA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
