It is the result of the information you want to send to someone encrypted using their public key. Ascii-Armored is the text representation of the encrypted data so as to allow it to be sent over the SMTP network.
How do you get that - well first your going to have to figure out what version of PGP you are going to use and then you are going to have to install it and create a public key. I am testing using the freeware version from http://www.pgpi.org version 6.5.8 (why 6.5.8 when there is 8.0 out, well the later versions become less free ;-) I installed the windows version on computer that was going to be my test recipient, and installed the command line version on the Witango Server machine. I then created a public key on the client and saved it out as Ascii-Armored and copied it to the Server machine. On the server machine I ran the command line process which married the client public key with the data I wanted to send and outputted it as Ascii-Armored and then cut and paste that output into the body of the mail action. Phew... Im tired just rethinking about it Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango & MDaemon Reseller Available for Witango Developement -----Original Message----- From: Roland A.

What is ASCII-Armored and how do I do that? ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
