It's a PGP-aware mailer for SunOS/Linux, and has the most highly-integrated PGP interface that I know of (e.g. just tick a check-box to encrypt/sign/remail). Even a newbie Windows user can handle that much..
(As compared to the task of integrating PGP into microsofts mail tool.)
Well, someone's (mm@qpsx.oz.au, dunno if they're on the list) already done that for MS-Mail, at least in Beta form, according to their article on alt.security.pgp... However, their message implies that you have to use extra commands on the menus in order to deal with PGP mail, it's not just there waiting for you to tick the box.. Mark
