Is it just me, or is PGP broken? I don't mean any particular version of PGP -- I mean the fact that there are multiple versions of PGP which generate incompatible cryptography. Half the time when someone sends me a PGP-encrypted message, I can't decrypt it. Presuming that I'm right, is anyone attempting to fix PGP? Not to mention anything about PGP keyservers, or the utter and complete absence of anybody doing point-source PGP signing. -- -russ nelson <sig@russnelson.com> http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | The best way to help the poor 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | is to help the rich build Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | up their capital.
