Exmh Stopped Using PGP

[Dave Tweten]

Sorry for the delay in responding.  A week of vacation and a failed hard 
disk took their toll.  Thank God for backups!

The answer appears to be no.

	gilmore 1 - /usr/local/bin/pgp5
	PGP is now invoked from different executables for different
	operations:

	pgpe    Encrypt (including Encrypt/Sign)
	pgps    Sign
	pgpv    Verify/Decrypt
	pgpk    Key management
	pgpo    PGP 2.6.2 command-line simulator (not yet implemented)

	See each application's respective man page or the general PGP
	documentation for more information.

I also compared ~/.exmh/exmh-defaults against a copy backed up before PGP5 
stopped working with Exmh, and they compared well.  The problem is not 
corruption in my defaults file.

That leaves me most suspicious of the FreeBSD ports upgrades I was doing 
when Exmh stopped dealing with PGP5.  Obvious suspects include

>         + lang/tcl84 (tcl-8.4.5,1)
>         + x11-toolkits/tk84 (tk-8.4.5,1)

and maybe (but it's a streach)

>         + mail/metamail (metamail-2.7_1)
