(BTW, I use Eudora, and I have PGP. Could somebody explain how to PGP-sign messages, ideally EASILY?)

I use Eudora as well. It is not as easy as I would like. You have a couple of options:

1) Use cut-and-paste into Private Idaho. Private Idaho will allow you to paste back into Eudora. (Or you can send out from Private Idaho directly.) This option is useful becuase it supports nyms and chaining of remailers.

2) Get one of the standard Windows PGP shells and paste into that. After signing, you will have to repaste into Eudora again.

These seem to be the only options. I am not certain if there is a standard DDE or OLE interface that could be used to feed message information back and forth between Eudora and some other app. There have been a number of promises of Eudora/PGP integration, but nothing has materialized yet.

[sigh] Just what I thought, no easy solutions. Well, for now I'll just skip signing; I haven't had any problem (that I know of...knock on silicon) with forged messages, and my normal posts are so enthusiastically anarchical and inflammatory that the only way anybody could really embarrass me is to forge a message, ostensibly from me, saying I agreed with some governmental activity somewhere.

There are no easy answers I know of...

If you need a copy of Private Idaho, I can point you to a web site or bring a copy along to the meeting on the 20th.

Please do...

I have heard that their are alpha releases currentky geing worked on at quest/qualcomm. But i would have to say before they come out your best bet to pgp and eudora is either pidaho or just use it in dos. pidaho is a great front end. A lot better than any others out their. I have also heard that ViaCrypt is a good alternative. But I am not sure. Has anyone else out there heard anything good/bad about ViaCrypt? -- ==================Douglas Elznic=================== delznic@storm.net http://www.vcomm.net/~delznic/ (315)682-5489 (315)682-1647 4877 Firethorn Circle Manlius, NY 13104 "Challenge the system, question the rules." =================================================== PGP key available: http://www.vcomm.net/~delznic/pgpkey.asc PGP Fingerprint: 68 6F 89 F6 F0 58 AE 22 14 8A 31 2A E5 5C FD A5 ===================================================
