"the night before shipping"
things overheard on the night before shipping:

"someone had an itch for 'man eater'? let me scratch that itch for you."

"I don't question these things because I know better, I just question them..."

"We'll break your software if its the last thing we do!"
"It IS the last thing we're doing!"

digitally signing outgoing content

PGP-signed comments. Is it a good idea to ensure that identity theft is deterred by taking an extra step and digitally signing comments using PGP? It would not be a requirement to make PGP signed comments, but anyone who cares about their identity is free to do so. [Blogroots]

This makes sense. I've been trying to set up PGP with Entourage so that all my outgoing email is automatically signed, but to no avail. Here's my script...

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
set messageContent to content of theMsg
if messageContent is not then
tell application "PGP"
set messageContent to sign text messageContent
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the ASCII character 10
try
set the lineList to every text item of messageContent
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the return
set messageContent to the lineList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to
set content of theMsg to messageContent
on error
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to
end try
end if
end tell

The script is being run on outgoing messages, but the contents of each message aren't being replaced as the script above indicates. Not at all sure what is happening... Any help out there?
