Yes, but specifically what I was talking about was his insinuation that the fine GnuPG developers have "altered" the binary W32 version. Here is his quote (as much as I didn't want this to devolve into a "he said she said" kind of thing): ----------------------------8<------------------------------ OK, please do yourself a favor. Download the offcial binary distribution of GnuPG for windows. Also download the official source code distribution of GnuPG. Compile it yourself, and compare it with the official binary distribution, and by all means do let us all know what your findings are. And we will go on from there for the other juicy stuff... ----------------------------8<------------------------------ I have the whole signed message around here somewhere. But that was the snippet that was the most blatant. Rich...
