   I will believe that when I get an -s signed message from someone for   
   whom I do not have a key.  Maybe mark will oblige, as I do not have his key.

   I just discovered something interesting.  TB 60 obscures the clear-text   
   preface after auto-decrytion, but TB 2.0.0.24 (the one I am using now)   
   shows both mixed content *with* the decrypted part.  I like the way the   
   older TB/Enigma operates!   But sadly, I may have to leave TB 2.0.0.24   
   when my Win10 pc is ready to use.  :(
