Dunno... but in my experience TRULY security-minded people are rare. Most of us think nothing about the fact that our paper mail sits in a little unlocked box next to the sidewalk for much of the day. Or what could I learn about you by taking the garbage that you leave out on Tuesday nights? I'm pretty sure my unencrypted email is way more secure than any of that.... -- Rod _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
