Any good tutorials there?
I'm a newbie to public/private key encryption and
how to implement it.

Thanks

I've been doing some reading, and I'm starting to get
grasp on this PGP stuff. Here is a question:
In some emails I see something like this:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

What does this mean exactly, and what good is
it to anyone who finds it there?

Thanks

Mr. Hicks-

Did you STFW as Mr. Hicks suggested? You will likely find the small
handful of most popular servers that way.

(BTW, I'm testing out an interesting new method for including a PGP
signature in the headers. Yes, I know it sounds very Alan Connor-esque,
but it has seemed to work in my limited tests. It uses tinews.pl, a
script originally written for tin, I believe, for the signing (it
includes headers in the sig, cool!), and a script called pgpverify
(originally written to verify control posts) to verify. If you're
curious, a quick Google search should turn these tools up.)
