Okay Paul, but why should I encrypt. Thanks for the URL. When I find out the "why" I may have a look.
with pgp/Gnupg you can sign/and/or/encrypt messages. It isn't necessary to either sign or encrypt, but you can do either one. If you are sending sensitive data, such as card numbers, Soc. Sec. info, other personal data, in an email it would be wise to encrypt the data, otherwise, it is like a cordless phone, anyone who has the knowledge can steal it. I have always been told to never put ANY info in an email that you wouldn't put on a post card. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc
