And today - one week later - *no* version is currently available.
I would say this adds to the reservations some of us may have had about PSM.
Thus far PGPMail 4.5 leaves out not only Mac-users, but W3.11-users also. I
have asked PGP.com what they intend to do about the 3.11-users
(W32s-enhanced or not). Since I'm sticking to W3.11 for the time being:
somebody else have any suggestions?
