NODE e12c36acSome Questions...
SGT=DARREN=S.=HARLOW%ISB%MCTSSA@nwsfallbrook3.nwac.sea06.navy.milFri, 15 Apr 94 08:46:09 PDT
I am new to the list and learning rapidly. However I have a couple
of questions:
1) How is it that I sign a message with PGP and still have the message be in
plaintext? I know this is trivial to most, but new to me.
2) I know that there were programs out there that would break the protection
scheme for ZIP and ARJ files (older versions of both), is there new ones out
and what are their keys based on?
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am trying to learn.

Nothing is trivial if you find yourself banging your head on a problem to which
you have no immediate answer. Here's the immediate answer:
pgp -sta +clearsig=on message.txt
That's from pgpdoc2.txt. Hope it helps. You might wish to set up your mail
user agent to invoke this command upon exiting your default message editor,
with "message.txt" set to whatever your editor calls the temporary message
file.

No problem. You might also consider taking the newsgroups sci.crypt and
alt.security.pgp.
Hmmm... you might find talk.politics.crypto interesting, too.

What does your job involve? Local sysadmin? How did you find out about us?
