Qualcomm's own Eudora support team recommended it, and it works seamlessly. To use it with Eudora, important point: after installing WPGP,
You make it sound so easy. Problem is, installing this thing was clunky. Took me a couple of times to make it even appear to install.
go into Options|Select Keystrokes and make sure "Use Capture mode" and "Use Select All" are selected
(and "Use Memorizer" should -not- be selected),
At least that seems to work...
< otherwise you'll get errors about 'no selected text'. That's it; you're up and running.
Example of using WPGP: After writing your message as usual in Eudora, to encrypt simply click on WPGP's "Enc" button and then click on the window containing your message; that's it, very slick. Another example: If you get a PGP-encrypted email and want to reply, just hit Eudora's Reply as usual (this will ">"-quote the entire original email as usual including the PGP block), click on WPGP to "Dec"rypt, and click anywhere on your reply window... it will pick out the PGP block, decrypt it, inform you about valid signatures etc., and automatically paste the reply back into your window in the proper place WITH PLAINTEXT PROPERLY QUOTED, as if you'd got the message straight in the clear and hit 'Reply'.
Highly recommended.

I apreciate your enthusiasm, but it has failed to work a number of times for me. Perhaps you should study your instructions a bit more carefully for errors. After I get to the end of the message on Eudora, I select WPGP and follow your instructions by clicking on the ENC button. At this point, I can't maximize Eudora again to "click on the window containing your message" (as you asked). The system asks me for my password, I type it, but when control is returned to Eudora I see neither a signature nor encryption. Frankly, it appears to me that the biggest threat to our security at this moment are the programs which ostensibly are supposed to protect it. I wish I could be more appreciative.
