    From Alan Beck@1:229/426.36 to All on Tue Feb 2 08:53:36 2021
    Hi,

    So how do it use PGP, would love to do a test.

    Is it compatible with WinPoint?

    Does it matter? I doubt I am to say bad things about my Boss Node.

    I don't think WinPoint allows running macros. But Apoint does.

    It's probably better use email or something akin to Telegram for direct/private conversation primary because those delivery
    mechanisms are more reliable.

    You can copy and paste the PGP encoded message, but that's not really fun for regular conversations.

    Only you can tell. If you don't care that a man in the middle can read your mails, it's not worth the effort.

    ROFL. Are you sure?

    I can crash a mail to another node. That's more reliable than involving a commercial third party that also stores my messages on their servers.
