After much screwing around I ran across the solution. I had been entering "p" in the compose window too early. After composing the message and hitting "escape" then ":wq" I hit "p" in the next window, the one where you normally enter "y" to send the message. Lo and behold the encryption menu appeared. Unfortunately that revealed another problem. When encrypting a test message, sending it, then going into the outbox and trying to decrypt it, it throws an error about the passphrase being invalid. A search turned up nothing applicable. I'm at a loss to know where to start trying to troubleshoot this. Any ideas? -- Bob Holtzman A man is a man who will fight with a sword or conquer Mt.
