So much for /that/... That's odd, I would think it would just be plain text files, and easy to index. I haven't has a spotlight problem with mail, in fact that is why I use it, the speed of search.

I agree with all this, but there is a good point often made that if you only every encrypt the stuff that "needs" to be kept private, then encryption itself acts as a big neon sign saying "interesting stuff in here". If people encrypted all communications as standard then there'd be no telling whether what was inside that encryption was secret plans to take over the world or just a video of your dog on a skateboard. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm
