I've got PGP messages being sent/received in Synchronet - I use it for my 
InterBBS transport of Videotex pages - to verify the signed message has 
authorisation on the pages that it is updating. (At the moment I shell out to 
pgp.)

I would really like to get native PGP support into SBBS - there are a few 
javascript modules to enable it, but SBBS' javascript engine is too old (from 
what I've worked out so far). DM said he is planning on updating it, but I dont 
know when that would happen.

If he did, then PGP could be used for netmail signing and verification as well, 
which would be great.
