I'll try to find the time to make this a proper feature of pgg. (I also added the original author to the cc, so he might add his thoughts) Ken, please let me know if it works for you, and what features you are missing. One problem, though: pgg supports, besides gnupg, pgp and pgp5 -- I don't have any version of pgp on my box, and I'm not willing to buy a proprietary product to write these patches. So, to make the symmetric encryption feature work with these backends, I would need help by people, who can tell me about the needed switches for pgp and test the patches with different versions of pgp... cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde : "There are 10 types of people in the world. : Those who understand binary and those who don't."
