Hello Th.Barghahn # gmx.de!

That is no problem.  Inline is quite fine.  That is how I was  
doing it manually - creating the pgp block and reediting the  
outgoing message by dropping in the new block.

Now.. THAT setting I was not aware of!

So, it sounds like the PW is optional, and I willbe prompted  
for it if that field is blank?

I am not sure what that password that needs to be. Is it  
supposed to be my private key password?

[time elapses..]

OK.. I tried it without a PW and the message went out in the  
clear.

When I entered a PW in the Above settings, and tried again, I  
got this:

Surely there are other settings required to get OXP to enrypt
an outgoing message?
