My thanks to Henry for a glowing recommendation of my product. Just a few
clarifications:

"Bryce's Auto-PGP", or "BAP", is an sh script, so it can be integrated with
most Unix programs. Pine, Elm, trn, mh are the only programs that I have
personally run it with. (Unless you count "finger" and "cat"...)

The current version is BAP v1.0beta in second beta-test. I'm pretty much
just waiting on reports from the second batch of beta-testers and then
I'll call it 1.0 and send it out to those who requested the first non-beta
release.

I have no working WWW page at the moment. When I release bap v1.0 I will
have a page at http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~wilcoxb/bap.html and possibly at
other sites.

BAP gives the user the option of putting her passphrase in a temporary
cleartext file. This is to help people who can't input the passphrase
manually because their mail program is stingy with stdin. Putting your
pasphrase in a temporary cleartext file isn't a good idea, but it is usually
a better idea than putting it in an environment variable like PGPPASS. (Ref:
Derek Atkins "appnote.txt" which comes with PGP 2.6 distributions.)
I'm looking forward to the first general release of BAP.
