Auto-pgp for pine/elm/tin (fwd)
In Garfinkel's book, he talks about the risks of running PGP on a
multiuser system where others (sys. admins, eg) have higher levels of
authority than you do. I have PGP installed on my pc and if I want to
use it, I can save the message in ascii, then upload it to the server
where I have my Internet account, then mail it. maybe not entirely
transparent, but at least it seems to me that the convenience of running
it on the server with something like Mr. Wilcox's BAP is not worth the
added risk. Besides, how often do you need to use it?

Yes, it exists, and I'm using it now. I've tried competing products and
found this to be the cleanest, smoothest and easiest to install. I have
no personal, commercial or financial interest in this product. It does
"auto-pgp" for pine, elm and tin.
