I guess Perry didn't see the word 'encrypted'... Perry, you really ought to see the web page - it's
quite good, and has a lot of good information.  It also illustrates some of the pitfalls inherent in 
writing such applications, and exposes bad code written by commercial vendors.  I thought that that 
was part of what Cypherpunks is for, but maybe it's just for Perry-approved posts.

"Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families,
through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a
waiting soul.  Patient, permanent, abundant, it opens its infinite heart and
asks only one thing of you ... 'Remember who it is you really are.'"
