i'll go with that.
And this is why the PGP folks have their heads up their arses, to use a colloquialism. There are so many other gaps in the system that there really is no point in forcing people who don't actually need it to use a "perfect" but hugely overcomplex system.
To abuse an analogy, this is like an airliner with a dodgy engine, a drunk First Officer, cracks in the rudder, and a malfunctioning starboard aileron, returning to the gate... because there weren't enough "refreshing towelettes".

if one is using pgp on windoze, then i agree with that analogy.
