Is it legal or illegal to send a PGP encrypted message from the US to someone in another country?
Yes.
No it's not. Where do you get this? It would be illegal to send them a copy of the PGP program. But sending encrypted messages is not illegal.
Actually, Paul implied that it was both legal and illegal. I assume he meant that it is legal except where the *content* of the message contains something illegal (death threats against heads of state, etc.) But if you use strong encryption, who'll know?
