Hi there,=20
I read about this list in the Electronic Engineering Times, so I scored =
PGP as soon as I could.
My ?? is this: When I create a document on M$ Word or XL and then PGP =
it, how could I eliminate the plaintext left in the swap file? Now, I =
understand the PGP -w command but that only wipes the original
plaintext.=20
My other ?? is if my disk is seized by the S.S. , how easy would it be =
for them to recover
old plaintext messages?=20
Thanks,
Eric
