Occasionally, I need some event like this to remind me why backups are 
a good idea.  :-p

I don't have any insight to lend to this but I thought I should at least
write something.  I can't think of anything recent that I did to mail/
exmh2 that might make it break pgp5.

(Errr...that's assuming that you installed exmh from the ports 
collection.)

You mentioned in your original email that exmh wasn't being 
updated, but I saw where you updated both lang/tcl84 and x11-toolkits/
tk84.  The only recent change I remember making to mail/exmh2 was to 
convert it to use Tcl/Tk 8.4 rather than Tcl/Tk 8.3.  There isn't 
anything to connect this to your PGP 5 problem, but I thought I'd 
mention this anyways.

Bruce.
