Randy,

Thanks ! I will study it over the next few days and will likely buy it.

Do you know of anyone that is offering PGP for mail.app ? I tried  
Google and the only thing that came up was some hack and it was out  
of europe (IIRC).

Apples web site is almost quiet about PGP for mail. I tried MACWORLD  
and pretty much the same thing. I would ask a question there but  
cannot figure out how to do so.
