You have two : options with Pegasus depending on the set-up options you choose. You can : either send upon completion of your out-going email, or you can have your mail : queued until you press the send out-going mail button. The actual PGP process : does not occur until you actually send the mail. So the answer would be: : don't queue your mail. That's not really a solution in the Windows environment, if you have a swap file, you never know what gets written out to it. The solution is run w/o a swap file or run an encrypted file system. I run an encrypted file system. Pegasus will indeed save your key with your message in the outgoing queue. This is a problem with the design of pegasus, not with the design of the add on encryptor. : : On 9 Dec 95 at 16:24, Jon Lasser wrote: : : > On Sat, 9 Dec 1995 anonymous-remailer@shell.portal.com wrote: : > : > > I just installed the "Open Encryptor" PGP interface for Pegasus Mail. : > > I found that when you sign a message and queue it, it stores your password : > > in the clear on the hard drive.
