Around 28th February to the end of June. (-; > 681 Messages sent by members of the list > 628 Encrypted messages I'm surprised the difference is so large - it doesn't "feel like" that large a proportion is unencrypted. But that number not encrypted looks correct if it includes about ten notification messages from Yahoo about new file uploads, etc. > 36 NETMK messages I have difficulty counting those because my email program is poor at searching inside encrypted messages. It finds six plaintext, and this only rises to 13 if I tell it to also look inside encrypted messages; I know this is a very long way short. > 13 Members were responsible for not encrypting to someone's key > 12 Members sent NETMK messages > And for what it's worth: > 22 Messages weren't encrypted to my key How many of these 22 were within the first week or so?

Wow! > Hope this is enlightening. :-) It is. I'm quite surprised at the proportion of unencrypted messages, and at the proportion of members not encrypting to somebody's key. I would hope that latter figure dropped significantly if non-encryption to keys posted within the last week were disregarded. - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:expires2...@ymail.com The truth is out there. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQCVAwUBTF7EDaipC46tDG5pAQpTNQP/aFENDdIT4rvVQq9U0gk02nP87O7jyAiR Nv7UpJVSi4pFDhzQXjhxE4KBfyye3dLnh0BgScXGuYAB/9dpTKDMa9zS0Znql+5c ETfCrYIYmj/vuIysutxzidYFIrfFH3qcvdLAvPLJGLj6d3m9WKQtfgfOt0gjGQt0 vXg4LHQuwkY= =ZiB/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
