PGP in-line is deprecated anyway. Personally, it is a distraction when I have to strip that crap out of messages when replying. Worse, it invalidates "sig-delimiters". I would call this a _welcome_ feature from Outlook. In any case, Outlook 2007 is deprecated also. Comparing a nearly four year old version is counter productive.

Windows 7 (32) or (64) bit? I have heard of problems with GPG not working correctly with the 64 bit system due to problems with the GPG libraries not being true 64 bit. > I am far, far from being an IT person.
