(been absent from the list for a long time since Rice disabled remote dialups AGAIN) I see there was a question on how to encrypt something to be read in the future. Several months ago Tim May sent a post covering this very topic - "Timed Released Crypto", which is at the gopher site chaos.bsu.edu in the Protocols directory. The archive is now a menu item from the top level directory which is called something like "Cypherpunks Gopher Archive" I just mention this since I don't see any followups which mention this. But then I have very few messages from the list given I haven't been able to check mail in a week and a half. -- Karl L.
