- While you're at it, it would be easy to add encryption in the same way.
- On opening a folder with a particular extension (like .x for encrypted),
- messages would put up a dialog box and prompt the user for a key to use
- when decrypting the messages in that folder. There are some fairly
- fast publicly available implementations of DES around to the the
- encrypt/decrypt part. Todd, I could
- send you one of these if you're interested in pursuing this.
