   Thank you for mentioning just plain encryption (without keys). I hadn't   
   thought of that.  Apparently, *I* hadn't finished *my* morning coffee.   
      
   WRT to my Blackberry, where I need to send the keys, I am not aware of   
   away to decrypt a message that I simply encrypted somewhere else.   
      
   The pgp app on the Blackberry only operates with established keys.
