Maybe I have just missed something in this whole discussion, so please hold back the flames, but has a SIMPLE desktop mailer that encrypts using PGP been writen and widely distributed on any platform ? The common person will only do something if you make it simple for them to access. The attitude of don't complain, write the code youself won't fly with average Joe who wants to help by spreading the use of PGP. Most people have barely just enough time to worry about reading the news and checking their mail, let alone downlaod, compile and implement an encryption scheme. The priority should be to get people encrypting first, then worry about whether they understand the protocol for double-blind remailers. It seems to me that Universities should be the highest priority for spreading the use of PGP. It is the students who are willing to adapt to new technology the quickest. Some sort of product should be developed that can be distributed on the PC and Mac, like Pegasus mail (for those that are familiar with it), that will support PGP. It all comes down to marketing. Why not make a nice free-ware game that can carry a Cypher bill-board with it ? How many people see the Maelstrom start up screen on a Mac ? X-tetris on Unix ? Minesweeper on Dos ? It seems to me that widespread advertising should be a higher priority if PGP is going to succede. Matthew Bernardini
