In some mail from Todd Beebe, sie said: [...] > I don't think an encrypted email that I receive, should be unencrypted when > I reply, and require me to Forward the reply to any and all recipients. > Shouldn't the default be to encrypt all replies to encrypted email? > > Is this the standard with other email packages using encryption? I've not used Outlook'98, just Oulook'97 but... This appears, to me, to be a problem with the plugin for Outlook that you are using. I've used the PGP plugins with Outlook and have not had any problem replying to an encrypted email and encrypting the reply. It does let you reply to encrypted email with an unencrypted email (a potential information leak) but that's a user problem. Btw, 6.0 appears to be the first release of PGP that works "properly" with Outlook when it comes to correctly matching names from your address book with those that you're addressing an email to, which in itself opens up an interesting attack: if you can somehow fool the PGP plugin to select the wrong destination PGP key when sending an email, from memory it will not show you the list of destination email addresses with the matched PGP keyids before clicking on the "send" button.
