E-Mail Encryption: Why Isn't Everyone Doing It?

[carl w spitzer]

so is linux.
both have come a long way having installed Suse 7.0 and not 8.0 I know.
PGP should have stayed a console program and allowed others to create the
shell.
That way the engine would improve on its own and the fenders would be
handled separately.
IMHO
