What I saw was more than "8 characters", did you mean something else?
g:
as i said, '8'. when prompted for entry, i entered 8 characters.
Well, the sample you supplied was certainly more than 8 characters long. Prompted for entry into what?
in originally set up for pgp signature, i used 8 characters. this is where i miss led you. these 8 produce a 40 character fingerprint.
in pgpsignature, 94 characters are produced with first 26 common.
mime is a waste.
No, not at all. With MIME you get information on content encoding and/or content type,
this i understand. where i believe it to be a waste is when a plain text file is attached and it is converted to mime.
also, a waste is to send a text message in 'base64'.
my apologies for not being more clear. sometimes i tend to be 'terse' when i should elaborate. and yes, my first use of unix was on teletype printer. also, my typing is slower than my thinking, and i tend to leave out when catching up. - --
