I would like to emphasize that it is useless and a jeopardy to those
who communicate with anyone on a public connect service such as Netcom
using PGP. The *only* way that PGP can be used effectively is to run
it on a local computing resource like a PC that is *not* directly
connected to the net. It is irresponsible to use it otherwise.
I don't mean to flame. The danger and futility of using PGP on a
multi-user, networked system seems non-obvious to a lot of folks.
Peace,
Bob
