My mailer couldn't verify your signature, claiming "bad 
parameters." Probably my software is just old.

Hey, did you say that PGP supports RSA keys again? Hey, the RSA 
patent expired, didn't it? Is this version you got a brand new 
version with the old-style algorithms back in force? Cooool... I've 
been confused about encryption for a long time. The cryptogeeks were 
saying to only use 2.30 when 2.6.2 came out, and then they started 
saying that 2.6.2 was the only safe version, now I read some FUD 
(hopefully untrue) about there being a bug in a recent version of 
PGP's key escrow features.... doubletake: KEY ESCROW????? Did Phil 
Zimmerman sell his soul?

Anyway, I'd be very interested in whatever thoughts and info you 
have about all this crap, as I'd prefer to have encryption at my 
disposal as well.

Thanks,


Steve
