Keep in mind that pgp is not free and that there is a free alternative called gnupg which can also integrate with pine. gnupg supports all the openpgp standards and withan optional module the old idea style keys. Debian users can simply apt-get install gnupg and get add-ons for pine. Mutt supports gnupg out of the box. Regards, Kerry.
