Hi there, Remco Lubbers,

On 26 April 2001, I received the following message from you regarding
"Using GnuPG under Windows 98"

file-types and

Window$?

What your seeing is OE's standard encryption system S/Mime, which is
not what you want.

As GnuPG runs from the command line, you will need a Windows front end
such as GnuPGShell which is available from
http://www.bigfoot.com/~rsoft and I would also suggest you get the
version of GnuPG with the security patches and the IDEA module from
http://www.nullify.org

This will enable you to use Outlook Express with GnuPG but from
outside the e-mail program.  If you want to use e-mail programs with
GnuPG support built in, get the beta version of The Bat! or Becky!2
with its BkGnuPG plug in.
