FYI: Eudora and PGP
I have heard from the (one of the?) author(s) of Mac Eudora, on another list, that full support for ViaCrypt PGP will be added to the commercial version of Eudora in the spring. And probably PEM support too. It's unclear to me when (if ever :( ) this will be added to the free version of Eudora, or if 2.6ui (the only free (although semi-legal) version of Eudora to support applescript) will be supported to. I still haven't figured out if ViaCrypt MacPGP uses the same applescript suite as MacPGP 2.6ui, which is the neccesary detail there. I found that exciting, and thought others might be interested in hearing it. Or at least consider this post a welcome reprive from the Mandatory Signature Wars.
All of MacPGP 2.3v1.1, MacPGP2.6ui, and Viacrypt PGP 2.7 can be driven via the use of AppleEvents, by the macpgp kit. This leads one to believe that all three use the same suite of events. My scripting environment is broken, so I can't actually test to see that the entire suite is the same.
