Ralf I suspect, if he were to use pgp, would be like me, and only trust

pgp-2.6.2a, the last one before they put Zimmerman in jail for a few years.

I have often said, and have been called the uber paranoid for it, that one

of the conditions of his release was that the next generation of pgp had a

back door.  Denials out the yang are always instantaneous, but none of them

came from Pete, so I have no choice but to conclude he is under NDA as the

price of his freedom. So I figure the lack of compatibility of modern

versions means I might as well use plain text anyway.  My views aren't

secret anyway if you read my sig.
