More over it's only good for you anyway ?;^) The $35 is nothing compared to the costs you are imposing on all users of the internet by using PGP and inflating your message by about 50%. I certainly hope that if newsreaders authors are to include an automatic PGP system with their products, they also provide an automatic filter to enable me to ignore any usenet messages with this rubbish. I do understand the need for message and signature verification in some cases. However, I cannot for the life of me see any case for it in the quoted message. --------------------------------------------------------------- Allan Mikkelsen amikkels@melbpc.org.au Melbourne PC User Group
