Keep in mind GPG [GNU Privacy Guard] (Open Source Software,
just like Interchange) is different than
PGP [Pretty Good Privacy] (Semi Abandoned Costly Commercial
Ware with Patents, and **can't** be used
commercially without proper licensing). Both are sort of
like Linux vs. WinD'OHs!.

GnuPG - http://www.gnupg.org/
PGP - http://www.pgp.com/

I have never even tried PGP, I have been using GPG and
probably will stick to it (Why fix it, if it isn't broken?).
