: From: Peterwheat@aol.com : I found this by doing a keyword search (cryptography) in America Online's : database of mailing lists. I thought it might be of interest to the : cypherpunks mailing list: Oh God :-( Either Detweiler has got himself an AOL account or all AOL people are as clueless as they're reputed to be... He follows it with this...

Can anyone tell me if one can use PGP 2.6 with an online service [America Online]. From what the FAQ says, I need an actual UNIX account rather than just an E-Mail Gateway. Is this true?

If not, then how do I encrypt without attaching the pgp file [which goes only to other AOL users] or without using BinHex and inserting THAT into my message body? Not all of my peers use AOl or possess BinHex.

Hmmm... I think theory #1 is the more likely one. Is it time to shout 'He's baaaaack!' yet? - I'll know soon enough if I log on to cypherpunks and find 50 articles all following up posts from AOL... G
