Nobodu asks if FTP-by-mail from a US site will let outsiders retrieve crypto. Most of the popular crypto sites in the US that support non-exportable materials store them in a directory that's constantly being renamed, and require you to read a readme file with the license material so you've been warned before they'll tell you where it is. Most of the popular ftp-by-email sites have tended to be slow when I've used them :-) So it may not work very well, unless you catch a fast ftp-by-mail site. MIT requires you to telnet to ftp-dist.mit.edu and log on to register for PGP, which is tougher to do by email. BIll
