Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-encrypt dept.

rick_campbell writes "CNN is carrying an article about Phil Zimmerman and the fact that Network Associates is dropping support for the commercial version of Pretty Good Privacy. The article includes a little bit of Phil's take on the situation, a little history and some discussion of why this happened and what alternatives exist."

    You windows guys are just idiots because if its not point and click your completely lost. GnuPGP works great for all email clients. Sure its CLI, but you can find a handful of GUI clients to make keys, import, export, blah, blah, blah. Then most email programs like Evolution, KMail, Pine, Elm, etc... all support the PGP keys. So quit your bitching and click on something else...laters...
