Let's take this email as an example. I write it on my PC which may be more secure than the average system but has all the weaknesses of a system which does all the daily work. I mean: It is POSSIBLE to steal my secret key but it is not EASY. For normal email communication I regard this as enough. For signing treaties or other keys I use other keys (and a different environment). Hauke -- PGP: D44C 6A5B 71B0 427C CED3 025C BD7D 6D27 ECCB 5814
