PGP

But I use pine. Mostly, because I want to be able to check my e-mail even when I'm not at my computer, also because it works with PGP (GnuPG, actually).

Hi, If I want to burn sensitive files onto a cd using Mac OS X, is there such a program I can use to lock the cd with a password? I suppose, somethng like PGP, but then, 650 MB is a lot, no? Does this exist or am I crazy? Thanks! G

That would be a good way of doing it, however, it would require encryption support on every mailserver your machine talks to. Unfortunately, this isn't available, so your best bet would be to use a local encryption program to encrypt before you hand it off to the mail server. Current best choice is GnuPG for OS X but it offers no integration, that I know of, with...

cmasters - no idea how to fix, I'm afraid. pine dies when it runs other external programs too - for example, if I open a PGP encrypted/signed message, gnupg opens, successfully decrypts/checks the signature, but then I get the same error when gpg exits. For whatever reason, it has no trouble with using an external editor - I use emacs as my mail editor in pine, and that...

Any time pine executes an external program, it seems, it dies. I get the same result if I try to read a PGP signed or encrypted message - gpg starts up, checks the signature, and then on gpg's exit, pine dies with the same message.

Perhaps the OS X port of GnuPG may help; it's command-line only, but compatible with PGP?

As far as government listening in , They can do that already by looking at the electrical inpulses sent from teh cable to the motherboard lol :p no bluthood needed hehehe besides the governemnt is already checking up on us :p Everyone on this board get PGP ;) Admiral

I know that there is PGPDisk 6.02 for MacOS. I presume this is for 8/9, but have you tried running it under Classic Mode? Also, i know that there is a commercial version of PGPDisk (v 6.5), that is available.... There is also a GNU effort for PGP, take a look @ http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/ - they might have some answers... ... i got all of this info from the International...

There's a lot easier than telnet. I think that fetchmail is installed by default, if not it should be easy enough to get. It's a little command that fetches mail from smtp or pop3 servers, and 'mails' it to you on your own computer. As such you need to have sendmail running on your own computer. You can have it firewalled off though, since it's only a local program using...

It works for me. Installing it must have been pretty trivial because I don't even recall doing it! I know that I did not install the whole of Darwin. I have tried to do that (without success) to get pgp.
