E-Mail Encryption: Why Isn't Everyone Doing It?

[carl w spitzer]

Why not leave GNUPG as a console app and write shells separately?
We have shells going back to win311 for PGP 2.6.x
In the win32 environment there is VB in linux I think its called
glade(sp?).
Although there is a VB compiler for Linux by Janus.  

The guys still tease me for even looking for such a thing.

The only real problem would be making the look and feel similar cross
platform for user simplicity.
