Cypherpunks, I would like to thank Xcott for sending me that faq. Alos, thanks to the other guy who sent the info on e-mailing your way around the web...It is VERY confusing... I just have a few quick questions. I have gotten well over 25 messages from this list and so far only one of them had _anything_ to do with crypto...I know that most or all of you have a bit of background in crypto but I am just learning. So what I am wanting to know is a: are there any other crypto e-lists that are for newbies? b: are there any better text philes to read that give a better introduction that is for a newbie and c: what do you people feel is the best encryption someone can have that I could get? Thanks, D. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
