Sorry about that attribution problem.

The next standard is likely to be OpenPGP.  Use whatever you like, but
unless you use RSA and IDEA, you may have problems with people using
earlier versions.  There are plenty of people still using 2.6.x because
of its broad compatibility with remailers, nyms and most, if not all,
newer PGPs.
