Has anyone seen this yet? The only upload I've seen, on info-Mac, unbinhexes into something called "My Preschool Demo," and that's pretty much what it is. http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/ mac-pgp-control-10b1-as.hqx

Hi there,
Please find attached the first public release (Beta 1) of the MacPGP Control application.
MacPGP Control (or MPGPC for short) is an AppleScript application --written in AppleScript English dialect and FaceSpan 2.0.1-- that offers an easy-to-use, more Macintosh friendly user interface to MacPGP.
The main features of MPGPC are:
1. [Mac]PGP related features: * Allows definition and use of nicknames for Users and Groups recepients. * Offers more control for keyring related actions, through a true Macintosh Human Interface and -in some cases- direct manipulation of keyring file data, including: editing trust flag byte, enabling/disabling, extracting, checking, certifying, fingerprinting, and forcing Warn-Only bits. * Secure clean clear-signed PGP ciphers, through the implementation of features such as: expanding tabs, transliterating non-USASCII characters, and word-wrapping lines before processing and handing over to email application. * Allows viewing of PGP packets for educational and debugging purposes. * Allows opaque signing (asciified clear-signed text) * Supports (low-level) and use HTTP for PGP Keyserver querry and update of public key information. * Transparent use of user's UserIDs found in his/her secret keyring file. * Allows encryption for multiple recepients. * Generates Key Revocation Certificates.
2. Eudora related features: * Supports latest Eudora versions (2.1.3/1.5.3) known to break certain scripts. * User-configurable Auto Move PGP messages to designated mailbox. * User-configurable Auto Decrypt source data before processing.
3. Macintosh related features: * Handles encrypting/decrypting messages larger than 32K internally, while allowing editing of the top/first 32K chunck. * Extensive support of drag-and-drop. * Documented handlers calls for use by other scripters.
