Point well taken. I'm seriously considering completely disabling the PGP comment feature when invoked from premail. In fact, that's what the new code does right now. On an unrelated topic... cypherpunks like to count bits, right? What is the correct number of pseudorandom bits to use in a MIME multipart separator? If the data has a line which matches the separator, the message is corrupted. Of course, if you can take multiple passes through the data, you can simply verify that it does not contain a line which matches the separator. But if you're restricted to a single pass, then the only way to do it is to use a randomly generated separator. I figure that 128 bits should _definitely_ be enough (that's what is in the new premail code now). Even 64 bits should ensure that it is unlikely that anyone will ever experience message corruption over the expected lifetime of premail. However, it makes me nervous. What do people think? Raph
