This is a damn good question. I do NOT have the "write to a log file" option slected in the misc. tab and it STILL writes a log file. How DO we disable this?

> "When I talk to other governments," [David L. Aaron] said, > "they still don't feel that the cat is out of the bag." Aaron's denying that the cat is out of the bag? He was fashionably dressed in a Lion Tamer's outfit, waving a whip, and trying to herd hundreds of small furry mammals to jump through a hoop and back into a clawed-up army duffel-bag! "Cats? Haven't seen any cats around here! Pay no attention to these,umm, Siberian Hamsters that I'm evaluating for export approval." > "Other governments were upset with the 56-bit export allowance. > They said it was going to undermine their national security." On this point, the other governments are correct. It really _is_ tougher to maintain a nation-state when your former subjects can have private conversations with each other and with other governments' former subjects...... And even 56 bits is a start. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.

Well considering that we are approaching the 21st Century I think it is a little silly that one should have to worry about the line length in an e-mail message. Even the dos based programs from the 80's could handle wordwraping of displayed text. <sigh> for the benifit of those misfortunate enough to be still working on dumb terminals I have disabled my PGP script until I have time to add a word wrap routine to it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
