[Q] PGP encrypt and decrypt

Hei all.

Question about usage of PGP while reading mail/news and when sending
mail.

I have PGP 2.63i installed and it works from the command line. However,
when I tried to decrypt an email (with uppercase x) which was encrypted
the screen "blinked" and returned me to the original message. I had
chosen "Decrypt to screen".

The pgpd.bat is in my %HOME% directory and the commands there are:

@echo off
del %1.txt >nul
g:\pgp263\pgp %1 -o %1.txt
pause
more <%1.txt
pause

No change at all except for the filling out of the full path to pgp.exe
which is on another disk. This is also the Win32 version, if that is of
any consequence, as I am running Yarn95 under WinNT 4.

A thought which struck me was that there could be problems with the "-o"
in the third line or the "more <%1.txt" in the fifth line of the
pgpd.bat file.

Please enlighten me with your experiences. Thanks in advance.

James
