Not using GPG, I can't say :) Keep meaning to, but I use pgp so rarely, I 
haven't bothered...the question on top as well is with the RIP having 
received royal assent, is it worth it? :)

Hmm...my information is out of date if that's the case...time to research 
back into this. I know DES itself is more than insecure... (ie, you may as
