I just completed (well, it's in "beta") a mail-reader package for MSDOS and FidoNet. It does "rm" type stuff, and has PGP integrated reawonably well. Single character commands to decrypt, encrypt, sign, or encrypt/sign. It furnishes the distributed PGP.EXE program with it's imput (deriving it from the message itself). It'll extract keys from messages, and all that. It's MSDOS and .MSG-type FidoNet message base oriented, but it does all it's work in pure ASCII (FidoNet .MSG files are mixed binary and text). It is intentionally "RFC-822 like", and will become fully RFC-822 "soon". I was reasonably careful regarding de-cyphered plaintext laying about on disk, etc. It's available via Wazoo filerequest as magicname RM. (That's probably as obscure to you as FTP is to FidoNet.) It will be released as "copyleft" with all sources. Binaries only this week til I get it shaken down. * Origin: World Power Systems / FidoNews / San Francisco CA (1:125/111) -- Tom Jennings - via FidoNet node 1:125/555 UUCP: ...!uunet!hoptoad!kumr!fidogate!111!Tom.Jennings INTERNET: Tom.Jennings@f111.n125.z1.FIDONET.ORG
