I'm a crypto newbie here, but does anybody know how Trumpet Winsock 
and/or Eudora encrypt the passwords in their .ini files?  I am trying to 
write a front end for a client and would rather it set up automatically 
rather than the program ask.

How would I go about cryptoanalysing this?  If it were a simple XOR, then 
wouldn't Plaintext1^Cypher1 == Plaintext2^Cypher2 and so on?

Thanx for any help you can give me on this matter,

Sean
