Ok, and how does that affect me? I can understand that you can't use the DSS/DH
keys on older versions of PGP, however I prefer the ease of use that PGP 5.x gives
me. It will, however, be the last version I ever buy, as the whole Network Associates
merger has left a bad taste in my mouth; it seems they all got together for a good
reason and forgot to invite the customer support department.
Regardless, I don't see why I should have to use the RSA key that I created to
correspond with a friend 2 years ago (Who has since moved to a DSS/DH key), when
I know a lot of people who also use 5.x freeware which can't view RSA keys, thusly
creating the inverse of your problem now.
