[Announce] GnuPG 1.0.7 released

[Brad Tilley]

I love gpg. I use it everday with kmail. GPA is a great front-end too. I 
don't care what the naysayers say! 

I have only one wish: recursive directory encryption natively built-in to 
gpg. Outside of that, I think GNUpg is perfect!

Keep up the good work guys!
