PGP

I'm missing the option "Yes, if it's content is important" but so I've choosen "Yes" Depends here on the content. Simple mails with normal chatting or simple questions i.e. go unencrypted. More important things leave here using my SSL enabled Mailserver in the US so the content is encrypted on its way from Germany to the mailserver. But of cause not on the way from there....

I have been looking around for a while to a way to do this on my Mac, I looked a PGP programs on version tracker etc. ...

Highlight the folder, do a command+I (or go File->Get Info). Then go to Ownership & Permissions-Details and make it readable only for your account.

I would also point out that the independance of anti-virus creators from the OS maker adds to the security of the anti-virus app. How many Microsoft anti-virus apps do you know of? :p It's the same idea as releasing Zimmerman's PGP as open source: everyone could look it over and see if there were any back doors or security holes... Not that I'm suggesting that Apple...

Mail Loaded PGP 8.0. ...
