+ PGPsendmail is a drop-in wrapper for the standard sendmail
+programme which resides as /usr/lib/sendmail on most Unix systems.
+It allows the automatic encryption of outgoing messages by using the
+recipient's PGP public keys. It does *not* provide for automatic
+decryption of incoming messages: such a feature would necessarily
+involve compromising your passphrase.
+However, it can provide for automatic signing of outgoing messages by
+using PGPdaemon.
