---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2001 11:29:37 -0800 (PDT) From: davidthompson(a)hushmail.com To: coderpunks(a)toad.com Subject: Re: DCchat program The DCchat program I wrote about a couple of weeks ago is ready for test now. It is available at http://www.geocities.com/cryptosw. It is written in Python and requires threads and Tkinter support built in. I ended up leaving out the "nym" feature, all messages are anonymous. Mostly at this point I want to know if it works with moderate numbers of users (3-20). Can the DC net scale? When does it fall apart? Any questions please feel free to ask. Perhaps people could agree on a time to try a chat? If you want to try chatting, first run the program once ahead of time and it will create your host key in a file hostkey.pub. You can post that and users can check to see if it is present in the list. Eventually I hope to automate this checking to some degree, a la ssh.

New Hushmail version
by davidthompson＠hushmail.com 04 Jul '01

04 Jul '01

Sounds like some neat stuff going on at Hushmail. OpenPGP keys? Will this mean I can sign my messages and have non-hush users verify them? That would be great. Plus the ability to store the Hush applet locally would answer one of the big objections people have had. I wonder, are the keys stored locally too? That seems important. But what's this about cutting back from 5MB to 2MB? Geez, a MB costs less than a penny these days. Can they really have so many users that saving 2 cents a user will matter? DT ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2001 03:50:55 -0700 Subject: Important V2 Notice From: support(a)hushmail.com To: Dear HushMail user, HushMail Version 2.0 will launch in early July! Please read the following instructions carefully to ensure a smooth transition to the enhanced service. * Logging on to Version 2.0 * 1. Enter your username as usual. 2. A pop-up box will advise you that a new Thawte certificate is validating the authenticity of the version 2.0 HushMail applet. - To proceed you must click Yes 3. Enter your passphrase as usual. Your next step is to upgrade your Hush key pairs. This involves generating new OpenPGP keys by moving your mouse randomly within a key-generation application. At no point in this process are your email, attachments, or private keys vulnerable. After you have upgraded to OpenPGP key pairs, you will be automatically transferred to the HushMail Version 2.0 login page. 4. You now have the option to install certain HushMail application files locally. In HushMail Version 2.0, users have the option to install the Hush applet Java class files on their hard drive. The Java applet that HushMail utilizes allows email messages to be encrypted before being sent to the Internet The implications of a local install are: *Faster access This will save time as it means users no longer have to wait for the download every time they log in. *Authentic code Hush delivers its Java classes in a signed archive. Until now the class files were delivered each time the user logged in. With Version 2 the class files may be installed locally, thus requiring the user to check the validity of the files only once. 5. Enter your passphrase as usual. Now check out the great new look and features of HushMail Version 2.0! * Important notice * - HushMail 2.0 allows you to manage your mail more efficiently, as the amount of disk space you have used is now displayed. In version 2.0 the disk storage space allotted to each free HushMail account is reduced from 5MB to 2MB. We have made this decision in order to continue to provide and to improve this free service. This reduction in storage space will take place on July 20. We advise you to delete mail in excess of the new 2MB limit to ensure a smooth migration to the upgraded service. Alternatively, you may take this opportunity to obtain a HushMail Premium account at a celebratory launch price from only US$2.49 per month. Go to http://www.hushmail.com/upgrade/ for more details. - In preparation for the launch, HushMail users must ensure that the mail in their HushMail folders is within their allotted disk storage space. If they are over the 2MB (HushMail free accounts) or 32MB (HushMail Premium accounts) limit during the migration period, archived mail in excess of the storage limit may be lost permanently. - Throughout the migration period, which will last about three weeks from launch, we will be transferring your email to a new, faster, even more robust storage system. During this time, your old email messages may not be available. Dont worry. They are safe and will be transferred back into your email account. Premium account users and extremely frequent users will be given preference during this process. At no point in this process is encrypted email ever unencrypted. - Users may occasionally encounter some downtime over this migration period. The disruption to service will be minimal and we apologize in advance. * Troubleshooting * There will be a help link and a number of FAQs posted to assist you in resolving any issues you should encounter during migration to Version 2.0. * New Product Announcement * HushIdentity secure Web-based email system for your business - Encrypted email @ your domain Experience the security of HushMail with your own business or personal domain email address. - Cost-effective managed PKI solution for your small business Register 10 email accounts from only US$19.99 per month Find out more at, http://www.hushidentity.com/ Thank you for using HushMail as your secure mailing solution. We appreciate your continued support and hope you will be pleased with this enhanced service.
