This isn't necessary. The number of messages per day is quite

Dear Debian people,
I have the following problem with ELM and PGP. I often get a message saying
"could not open pgptemp.$01" - and the request that I type the correct
filename. However, this filename, if I am not mistaken, should have been
presented to PGP by ELM.
What is wrong here ?

Actually, /usr/bin/[ is the same as /usr/bin/test (they are

opinion, they are not junk. Yes, bash has them built in, but some other
shells may
