Randy,
First, to answer your question..yes I have PGP version
9.xx
Well, I just might have it running now, at least sending a
message to
myself and here's how I'm doing it......
First, I open Outlook Exp. and input my message
Next, from the little PGP icon on my desktop tray, I select
"Current
Window" - "Encrypt & Sign" and then see
the encrypted message. Then I
click send.
Then, after receiving the email, I again click the PGP icon
and use
the "Current Window" - but click "Decrypt
& Verify" to see my message.
That looks like it's working to me. However when I send
test
messages to the PGP test email site, I don't receive any
receipt
confirmations, so I wonder if the my PGP installation is
really
working.
In my next message to this group I will try to send an
encrypted
note just to see what happens. I hope that's ok.
Thanks for all the help.
