I've only used RIPEM on AOL -- but it should be the same. I run on a Mac, generating the armored file, and then use AOL's "paste from file" option in the File menu to include the encrypted file in the body of my message. In the other direction, I have to use Select All and Copy to get it out of AOL mail, Paste to get it into an editor. From there I can file it and give that file to PGP or RIPEM. BBEDIT on the Mac has good support for RIPEM. I wish I knew how to write BBEDIT extensions for Mac PGP as well. Anyone know if it's hard? - Carl -- Carl M.
