AFAIK those "Key Escrow" sneakness systems are only in the comercial
version and are optional.
(kind o fmakes sense to have a "Company Key" for buisness related stuff

How soon? last I heard it wasn't quite ready yet.
I would personally lovce to start using gpg at least as a test now...
as long as it wont interfere with my current pgp use too...
any pointers? does mutt support it? I take it it doesn''t use idea/rsa
lik ePGP does by default?
