Hi All,
Well I for one really appreciate this thread. I too got that message but
haven't had time to research what to do about it, so thanks to all for
the info and the education.
And Benny, if I get a vote, I say leave the default as it is, on by
default. Otherwise I would still be oblivious to this whole PGP GPGTools
issue.
Much appreciated
