   No, only signed and ascii-encoded.   
      
    AA> But the difference would be that anyone who has my or your public key

   No, anyone can read it period. If they have my public key they can verify it's   
   from me, but they don't need it to read the message. Your key was not involved.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
