[ Analysis of and clever workaround for legal_kludge deleted ] This kludge may seem to be too kludgy! It is asking a lot to ask users to type such a thing! But is this really a problem? Most users do not invoke PGP directly. They usually invoke PGP thru a mail program or some other shell program. These shell programs can be easily modified to do the right thing. In the worst case, people could define a shell alias to invoke pgp with the incantation! This discovery will allow people who must use PGP 2.6 to communicate with people with earlier versions of PGP! All of this is true. As someone who decided to start using 2.6, and who typically invokes it indirectly, I will start using it. However, Bizdos and buddies have still succeeded to some extent. Some people will use 2.6 without any attempt to bypass legal_kludge. Also Detweiler . . . I mean, Sue . . . may already be sending 800 zillion copies of your message to rsa.com. Rick
