This is not true. I am an active user of PGP for encryption and signing, and hear from technical *and* non-technical people all the time about issues with reading or verifying or decrypting my emails. I use both plaintext and MIME as the situation dictates, but there are major problems with both, so +1 on trying to think outside the box. > 1) Are these problems as common as my experiences imply, or am I just > really unlucky? Bad mail client support for PGP is still very common. This only compounds the mental hurdles users need to understand things. > 2) Is there any interest in trying to improve the standards? The cynic in me will point out that we already have problems getting email clients to follow the existing standards, but improvement is always welcome. :) - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201411241217 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAlRzaDAACgkQvJuQZxSWSsgzkQCdFgGixfR/eid3e8wfLTj7FWTQ ER8AnjSdnKy5bvWYElcGo+u2frnnMFv8 =iuIl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
