Subject: Some Questions... I am new to the list and learning rapidly. However I have a couple of questions:

1) How is it that I sign a message with PGP and still have the message be in plaintext? I know this is trivial to most, but new to me.

Nothing is trivial if you find yourself banging your head on a problem to which you have no immediate answer. Here's the immediate answer: pgp -sta +clearsig=on message.txt That's from pgpdoc2.txt. Hope it helps. You might wish to set up your mail user agent to invoke this command upon exiting your default message editor, with "message.txt" set to whatever your editor calls the temporary message file.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am trying to learn.

No problem. You might also consider taking the newsgroups sci.crypt and alt.security.pgp. Hmmm... you might find talk.politics.crypto interesting, too.
