Re: [BLUG] Meeting presentation idea: OpenPGP/Gnu Privacy Guard

I use Windows at work, as my company is a Microsoft shop. I use Firefox,
Thunderbird and Pidgin instead of the MS equivalents. My boss tolerates
my love of Free software, but never misses a chance to tease me about
Linux and how "they missed their chance" or whatever.

I plan to demonstrate Thunderbird with enigmail and GPG in Windows as
well as on Linux, so you're not SOL when you're away from Linux. Also,
there's an add-on for Thunderbird called LookOut that lets you handle
the TNEF encoded bits of emails from Outlook.

And Jeremy, we definitely need a keysigning party! But we have to do the
signing before the drinking. http://xkcd.com/364/ is what happens when
you do it wrong.
